Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters is 10, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters:

1 dm = 10 cm

To convert 260 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 260 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 10 cm

260 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 260 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 2600 cm

The final result is:

260 dm → 2600 cm

We conclude that 260 decimeters is equivalent to 2600 centimeters:

260 decimeters = 2600 centimeters
