Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 317 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 317 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

317 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 317 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 966.216 dm

The final result is:

317 ft → 966.216 dm

We conclude that 317 feet is equivalent to 966.216 decimeters:
