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 1520 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 1520 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

1520 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 1520 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 15.2 dm

The final result is:

1520 mm → 15.2 dm

We conclude that 1520 millimeters is equivalent to 15.2 decimeters:

1520 millimeters = 15.2 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.065789473684211 × 1520 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 1520 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.065789473684211 decimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred twenty millimeters is approximately fifteen point two decimeters:

1520 mm ≅ 15.2 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero six six times one thousand five hundred twenty millimeters.
