Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to decimeters is 0.01, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.01 decimeters:

1 mm = 0.01 dm

To convert 370 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 370 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from millimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mm → 0.01 dm

370 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 370 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 3.7 dm

The final result is:

370 mm → 3.7 dm

We conclude that 370 millimeters is equivalent to 3.7 decimeters:

370 millimeters = 3.7 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.27027027027027 × 370 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 370 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.27027027027027 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

370 mm ≅ 3.7 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point two seven times three hundred seventy millimeters.
