Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 104 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 104 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

104 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 104 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 10.4 dm

The final result is:

104 cm → 10.4 dm

We conclude that 104 centimeters is equivalent to 10.4 decimeters:

104 centimeters = 10.4 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.096153846153846 × 104 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 104 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.096153846153846 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

104 cm ≅ 10.4 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero nine six times one hundred four centimeters.
