Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to millimeters is 100, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 100 millimeters:

1 dm = 100 mm

To convert 424.3 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 424.3 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 100 mm

424.3 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 424.3 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 42430 mm

The final result is:

424.3 dm → 42430 mm

We conclude that 424.3 decimeters is equivalent to 42430 millimeters:

424.3 decimeters = 42430 millimeters
