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 4042 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 4042 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

4042 ft → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 4042 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 12320.016 dm

The final result is:

4042 ft → 12320.016 dm

We conclude that 4042 feet is equivalent to 12320.016 decimeters:
