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 300 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 300 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

300 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 300 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 3000 cm

The final result is:

300 dm → 3000 cm

We conclude that 300 decimeters is equivalent to 3000 centimeters:

300 decimeters = 3000 centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00033333333333333 × 300 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 300 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00033333333333333 centimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three hundred decimeters is approximately three thousand centimeters:

300 dm ≅ 3000 cm

An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero times three hundred decimeters.
