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 873 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 873 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

873 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 873 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 87300 mm

The final result is:

873 dm → 87300 mm

We conclude that 873 decimeters is equivalent to 87300 millimeters:

873 decimeters = 87300 millimeters
