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 6420 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 6420 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

6420 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 6420 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 642000 mm

The final result is:

6420 dm → 642000 mm

We conclude that 6420 decimeters is equivalent to 642000 millimeters:

6420 decimeters = 642000 millimeters

Alternative conversion
