Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters to decimeters is 10, which means that 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters:

1 m = 10 dm

To convert 7998 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 7998 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m → 10 dm

7998 m → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 7998 m × 10 dm

L_(dm) = 79980 dm

The final result is:

7998 m → 79980 dm

We conclude that 7998 meters is equivalent to 79980 decimeters:
