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 167 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 167 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

167 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 167 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 1.67 dm

The final result is:

167 mm → 1.67 dm

We conclude that 167 millimeters is equivalent to 1.67 decimeters:

167 millimeters = 1.67 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.59880239520958 × 167 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 167 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.59880239520958 decimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred sixty-seven millimeters is approximately one point six seven decimeters:

167 mm ≅ 1.67 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point five nine nine times one hundred sixty-seven millimeters.
