Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to decimeters is 0.01, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.01 decimeters:

1 mm = 0.01 dm

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

1 mm → 0.01 dm

104 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 104 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 1.04 dm

The final result is:

104 mm → 1.04 dm

We conclude that 104 millimeters is equivalent to 1.04 decimeters:

104 millimeters = 1.04 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.96153846153846 × 104 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 104 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.96153846153846 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

104 mm ≅ 1.04 dm

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