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 4242 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 4242 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
4242 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 4242 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 42420 dm
The final result is:
4242 m → 42420 dm
We conclude that 4242 meters is equivalent to 42420 decimeters:
4242 meters = 42420 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 2.3573785950024E-5 × 4242 meters.
Another way is saying that 4242 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 2.3573785950024E-5 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that four thousand two hundred forty-two meters is approximately forty-two thousand four hundred twenty decimeters:
4242 m ≅ 42420 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times four thousand two hundred forty-two meters.
