Conversion formula

The conversion factor from deciliters to liters is 0.1, which means that 1 deciliter is equal to 0.1 liters:

1 dL = 0.1 L

To convert 420 deciliters into liters we have to multiply 420 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from deciliters to liters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dL → 0.1 L

420 dL → V_(L)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in liters:

V_(L) = 420 dL × 0.1 L

V_(L) = 42 L

The final result is:

420 dL → 42 L

We conclude that 420 deciliters is equivalent to 42 liters:

420 deciliters = 42 liters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 liter is equal to 0.023809523809524 × 420 deciliters.

Another way is saying that 420 deciliters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.023809523809524 liters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four hundred twenty deciliters is approximately forty-two liters:

420 dL ≅ 42 L

An alternative is also that one liter is approximately zero point zero two four times four hundred twenty deciliters.
