Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to decimeters is 0.01, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.01 decimeters:

1 mm = 0.01 dm

To convert 630 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 630 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from millimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mm → 0.01 dm

630 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 630 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 6.3 dm

The final result is:

630 mm → 6.3 dm

We conclude that 630 millimeters is equivalent to 6.3 decimeters:

630 millimeters = 6.3 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.15873015873016 × 630 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 630 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.15873015873016 decimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred thirty millimeters is approximately six point three decimeters:

630 mm ≅ 6.3 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point one five nine times six hundred thirty millimeters.
