Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to decimeters is 0.01, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.01 decimeters:

1 mm = 0.01 dm

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

1 mm → 0.01 dm

704 mm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 704 mm × 0.01 dm

L_(dm) = 7.04 dm

The final result is:

704 mm → 7.04 dm

We conclude that 704 millimeters is equivalent to 7.04 decimeters:

704 millimeters = 7.04 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.14204545454545 × 704 millimeters.

Another way is saying that 704 millimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.14204545454545 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

704 mm ≅ 7.04 dm

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