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 710 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 710 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

710 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 710 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 71 dm

The final result is:

710 cm → 71 dm

We conclude that 710 centimeters is equivalent to 71 decimeters:

710 centimeters = 71 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.014084507042254 × 710 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 710 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014084507042254 decimeters.

Approximate result

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

710 cm ≅ 71 dm

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