800 meters in decimeters

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 800 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 800 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

800 m → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 800 m × 10 dm

L_(dm) = 8000 dm

The final result is:

800 m → 8000 dm

We conclude that 800 meters is equivalent to 8000 decimeters:

800 meters = 8000 decimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.000125 × 800 meters.

Another way is saying that 800 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.000125 decimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred meters is approximately eight thousand decimeters:

800 m ≅ 8000 dm

An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times eight hundred meters.
