Conversion formula

The conversion factor from liters to deciliters is 10, which means that 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters:

1 L = 10 dL

To convert 1240 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 1240 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 10 dL

1240 L → V_(dL)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in deciliters:

V_(dL) = 1240 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 12400 dL

The final result is:

1240 L → 12400 dL

We conclude that 1240 liters is equivalent to 12400 deciliters:

1240 liters = 12400 deciliters
