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 9720 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 9720 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

9720 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 9720 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 972000 mm

The final result is:

9720 dm → 972000 mm

We conclude that 9720 decimeters is equivalent to 972000 millimeters:

9720 decimeters = 972000 millimeters
