Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:
1 m = 10 dm
To convert 5242 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 5242 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 10 dm
5242 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 5242 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 52420 dm
The final result is:
5242 m → 52420 dm
We conclude that 5242 meters is equivalent to 52420 decimeters:
5242 meters = 52420 decimeters
