Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to millimeters is 100, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 100 millimeters:

1 dm = 100 mm

To convert 720.5 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 720.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 100 mm

720.5 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 720.5 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 72050 mm

The final result is:

720.5 dm → 72050 mm

We conclude that 720.5 decimeters is equivalent to 72050 millimeters:

720.5 decimeters = 72050 millimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 millimeter is equal to 1.3879250520472E-5 × 720.5 decimeters.
