Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to meters is 0.1, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters:

1 dm = 0.1 m

To convert 701 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 701 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 0.1 m

701 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 701 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 70.1 m

The final result is:

701 dm → 70.1 m

We conclude that 701 decimeters is equivalent to 70.1 meters:

701 decimeters = 70.1 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.014265335235378 × 701 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 701 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014265335235378 meters.

Approximate result

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

701 dm ≅ 70.1 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero one four times seven hundred one decimeters.
