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 106 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 106 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

106 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 106 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 1.06 dm

The final result is:

106 mm → 1.06 dm

We conclude that 106 millimeters is equivalent to 1.06 decimeters:

106 millimeters = 1.06 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.94339622641509 × 106 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 106 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.94339622641509 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

106 mm ≅ 1.06 dm

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