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 4720 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 4720 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

4720 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 4720 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 472000 mm

The final result is:

4720 dm → 472000 mm

We conclude that 4720 decimeters is equivalent to 472000 millimeters:

4720 decimeters = 472000 millimeters

Alternative conversion
