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 130 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 130 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

130 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 130 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 1300 cm

The final result is:

130 dm → 1300 cm

We conclude that 130 decimeters is equivalent to 1300 centimeters:

130 decimeters = 1300 centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00076923076923077 × 130 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 130 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00076923076923077 centimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred thirty decimeters is approximately one thousand three hundred centimeters:

130 dm ≅ 1300 cm

An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero point zero zero one times one hundred thirty decimeters.
