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 984 decimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 984 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

984 dm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 984 dm × 100 mm

L_(mm) = 98400 mm

The final result is:

984 dm → 98400 mm

We conclude that 984 decimeters is equivalent to 98400 millimeters:

984 decimeters = 98400 millimeters
