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 700 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 700 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

700 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 700 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 7000 cm

The final result is:

700 dm → 7000 cm

We conclude that 700 decimeters is equivalent to 7000 centimeters:

700 decimeters = 7000 centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00014285714285714 × 700 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 700 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00014285714285714 centimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred decimeters is approximately seven thousand centimeters:

700 dm ≅ 7000 cm

An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero times seven hundred decimeters.
