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 17.8 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 17.8 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

17.8 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 17.8 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 178 dL

The final result is:

17.8 L → 178 dL

We conclude that 17.8 liters is equivalent to 178 deciliters:

17.8 liters = 178 deciliters

Alternative conversion
