Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 704 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 704 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

704 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 704 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 70.4 dm

The final result is:

704 cm → 70.4 dm

We conclude that 704 centimeters is equivalent to 70.4 decimeters:

704 centimeters = 70.4 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.014204545454545 × 704 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 704 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014204545454545 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

704 cm ≅ 70.4 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero point zero one four times seven hundred four centimeters.
