Conversion formula

The conversion factor from milliliters to deciliters is 0.01, which means that 1 milliliter is equal to 0.01 deciliters:

1 ml = 0.01 dL

To convert 5042 milliliters into deciliters we have to multiply 5042 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from milliliters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ml → 0.01 dL

5042 ml → V_(dL)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in deciliters:

V_(dL) = 5042 ml × 0.01 dL

V_(dL) = 50.42 dL

The final result is:

5042 ml → 50.42 dL

We conclude that 5042 milliliters is equivalent to 50.42 deciliters:
