Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters is 10, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters:

1 dm = 10 cm

To convert 70.4 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 70.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 10 cm

70.4 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 70.4 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 704 cm

The final result is:

70.4 dm → 704 cm

We conclude that 70.4 decimeters is equivalent to 704 centimeters:

70.4 decimeters = 704 centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.0014204545454545 × 70.4 decimeters.
