Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to millimeters is 100, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 100 millimeters:

1 dm = 100 mm

To convert 1001 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 1001 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 100 mm

1001 dm → L_(mm)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in millimeters:

L_(mm) = 1001 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 100100 mm

The final result is:

1001 dm → 100100 mm

We conclude that 1001 decimeters is equivalent to 100100 millimeters:

1001 decimeters = 100100 millimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 millimeter is equal to 9.99000999001E-6 × 1001 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1001 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.99000999001E-6 millimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand one decimeters is approximately one hundred thousand one hundred millimeters:

1001 dm ≅ 100100 mm

An alternative is also that one millimeter is approximately zero times one thousand one decimeters.
