Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to millimeters is 100, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 100 millimeters:

1 dm = 100 mm

To convert 24.8 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 24.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 100 mm

24.8 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 24.8 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 2480 mm

The final result is:

24.8 dm → 2480 mm

We conclude that 24.8 decimeters is equivalent to 2480 millimeters:

24.8 decimeters = 2480 millimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 millimeter is equal to 0.00040322580645161 × 24.8 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 24.8 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00040322580645161 millimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty-four point eight decimeters is approximately two thousand four hundred eighty millimeters:

24.8 dm ≅ 2480 mm

An alternative is also that one millimeter is approximately zero times twenty-four point eight decimeters.
