Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 564 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 564 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

564 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 564 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 56.4 dm

The final result is:

564 cm → 56.4 dm

We conclude that 564 centimeters is equivalent to 56.4 decimeters:

564 centimeters = 56.4 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.017730496453901 × 564 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 564 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.017730496453901 decimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred sixty-four centimeters is approximately fifty-six point four decimeters:

564 cm ≅ 56.4 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero one eight times five hundred sixty-four centimeters.
