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 14.2 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 14.2 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

14.2 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 14.2 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 142 dL

The final result is:

14.2 L → 142 dL

We conclude that 14.2 liters is equivalent to 142 deciliters:

14.2 liters = 142 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.0070422535211268 × 14.2 liters.

Another way is saying that 14.2 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0070422535211268 deciliters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that fourteen point two liters is approximately one hundred forty-two deciliters:

14.2 L ≅ 142 dL

An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero point zero zero seven times fourteen point two liters.
