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 262 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 262 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

262 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 262 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 26200 mm

The final result is:

262 dm → 26200 mm

We conclude that 262 decimeters is equivalent to 26200 millimeters:

262 decimeters = 26200 millimeters
