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 698.6 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 698.6 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

698.6 m → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 698.6 m × 10 dm

L_(dm) = 6986 dm

The final result is:

698.6 m → 6986 dm

We conclude that 698.6 meters is equivalent to 6986 decimeters:

698.6 meters = 6986 decimeters
