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 8000 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 8000 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

8000 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 8000 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 800000 mm

The final result is:

8000 dm → 800000 mm

We conclude that 8000 decimeters is equivalent to 800000 millimeters:

8000 decimeters = 800000 millimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 millimeter is equal to 1.25E-6 × 8000 decimeters.

Another way is saying that 8000 decimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.25E-6 millimeters.

Approximate result

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

8000 dm ≅ 800000 mm

An alternative is also that one millimeter is approximately zero times eight thousand decimeters.
