Conversion formula

The conversion factor from inches to decimeters is 0.254, which means that 1 inch is equal to 0.254 decimeters:

1 in = 0.254 dm

To convert 164.2 inches into decimeters we have to multiply 164.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from inches to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 in → 0.254 dm

164.2 in → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 164.2 in × 0.254 dm

L_(dm) = 41.7068 dm

The final result is:

164.2 in → 41.7068 dm

We conclude that 164.2 inches is equivalent to 41.7068 decimeters:
