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 704 decimeters into meters we have to multiply 704 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

704 dm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 704 dm × 0.1 m

L_(m) = 70.4 m

The final result is:

704 dm → 70.4 m

We conclude that 704 decimeters is equivalent to 70.4 meters:

704 decimeters = 70.4 meters

Alternative conversion

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

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

Approximate result

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

704 dm ≅ 70.4 m

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