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 7420 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 7420 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

7420 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 7420 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 742000 mm

The final result is:

7420 dm → 742000 mm

We conclude that 7420 decimeters is equivalent to 742000 millimeters:

7420 decimeters = 742000 millimeters
