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 462 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 462 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

462 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 462 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 46200 mm

The final result is:

462 dm → 46200 mm

We conclude that 462 decimeters is equivalent to 46200 millimeters:

462 decimeters = 46200 millimeters
