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 1002 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 1002 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

1002 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 1002 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 100200 mm

The final result is:

1002 dm → 100200 mm

We conclude that 1002 decimeters is equivalent to 100200 millimeters:

1002 decimeters = 100200 millimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 millimeter is equal to 9.9800399201597E-6 × 1002 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 1002 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.9800399201597E-6 millimeters.

Approximate result

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

1002 dm ≅ 100200 mm

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