Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:
1 m = 10 dm
To convert 42.4 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 42.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 10 dm
42.4 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 42.4 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 424 dm
The final result is:
42.4 m → 424 dm
We conclude that 42.4 meters is equivalent to 424 decimeters:
42.4 meters = 424 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0023584905660377 × 42.4 meters.
Another way is saying that 42.4 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0023584905660377 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-two point four meters is approximately four hundred twenty-four decimeters:
42.4 m ≅ 424 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero zero two times forty-two point four meters.
