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 437 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 437 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

437 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 437 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 43700 mm

The final result is:

437 dm → 43700 mm

We conclude that 437 decimeters is equivalent to 43700 millimeters:

437 decimeters = 43700 millimeters
