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 170 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 170 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

170 L → V_(dL)

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

V_(dL) = 170 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 1700 dL

The final result is:

170 L → 1700 dL

We conclude that 170 liters is equivalent to 1700 deciliters:

170 liters = 1700 deciliters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.00058823529411765 × 170 liters.
