Conversion formula

The conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters is 10, which means that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters:

1 dm = 10 cm

To convert 800.9 decimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 800.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from decimeters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 dm → 10 cm

800.9 dm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 800.9 dm × 10 cm

L_(cm) = 8009 cm

The final result is:

800.9 dm → 8009 cm

We conclude that 800.9 decimeters is equivalent to 8009 centimeters:

800.9 decimeters = 8009 centimeters
