Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:
1 m = 10 dm
To convert 1042 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 1042 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 10 dm
1042 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 1042 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 10420 dm
The final result is:
1042 m → 10420 dm
We conclude that 1042 meters is equivalent to 10420 decimeters:
1042 meters = 10420 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 9.5969289827255E-5 × 1042 meters.
Another way is saying that 1042 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 9.5969289827255E-5 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand forty-two meters is approximately ten thousand four hundred twenty decimeters:
1042 m ≅ 10420 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times one thousand forty-two meters.
