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 521 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 521 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

521 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 521 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 52100 mm

The final result is:

521 dm → 52100 mm

We conclude that 521 decimeters is equivalent to 52100 millimeters:

521 decimeters = 52100 millimeters
