Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters is 10, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters:

1 dm = 10 cm

To convert 105 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 105 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 10 cm

105 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 105 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 1050 cm

The final result is:

105 dm → 1050 cm

We conclude that 105 decimeters is equivalent to 1050 centimeters:

105 decimeters = 1050 centimeters
