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 747 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 747 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

747 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 747 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 74700 mm

The final result is:

747 dm → 74700 mm

We conclude that 747 decimeters is equivalent to 74700 millimeters:

747 decimeters = 74700 millimeters
