Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to decimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.1 decimeters:

1 cm = 0.1 dm

To convert 9701 centimeters into decimeters we have to multiply 9701 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.1 dm

9701 cm → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 9701 cm × 0.1 dm

L_(dm) = 970.1 dm

The final result is:

9701 cm → 970.1 dm

We conclude that 9701 centimeters is equivalent to 970.1 decimeters:

9701 centimeters = 970.1 decimeters
