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 842 meters into decimeters we have to multiply 842 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
842 m → L(dm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:
L(dm) = 842 m × 10 dm
L(dm) = 8420 dm
The final result is:
842 m → 8420 dm
We conclude that 842 meters is equivalent to 8420 decimeters:
842 meters = 8420 decimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 decimeter is equal to 0.0001187648456057 × 842 meters.
Another way is saying that 842 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0001187648456057 decimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred forty-two meters is approximately eight thousand four hundred twenty decimeters:
842 m ≅ 8420 dm
An alternative is also that one decimeter is approximately zero times eight hundred forty-two meters.
