Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:

1 m = 10 dm

To convert 1688 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 1688 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m → 10 dm

1688 m → L(dm)

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

L(dm) = 1688 m × 10 dm

L(dm) = 16880 dm

The final result is:

1688 m → 16880 dm

We conclude that 1688 meters is equivalent to 16880 decimeters:

1688 meters = 16880 decimeters
