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 680 millimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 680 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

680 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 680 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 6.8 dm

The final result is:

680 mm → 6.8 dm

We conclude that 680 millimeters is equivalent to 6.8 decimeters:

680 millimeters = 6.8 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.14705882352941 × 680 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 680 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.14705882352941 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

680 mm ≅ 6.8 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point one four seven times six hundred eighty millimeters.
