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 1248 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 1248 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
1248 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 1248 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 12480 dm
The final result is:
1248 m → 12480 dm
We conclude that 1248 meters is equivalent to 12480 decimeters:
1248 meters = 12480 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 8.0128205128205E-5 × 1248 meters.
Another way is saying that 1248 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 8.0128205128205E-5 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred forty-eight meters is approximately twelve thousand four hundred eighty decimeters:
1248 m ≅ 12480 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times one thousand two hundred forty-eight meters.
