The conversion factor from liters to deciliters is 10, which means that 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters:

1 L = 10 dL

To convert 990 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 990 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from liters to deciliters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 L → 10 dL

990 L → V_(dL)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in deciliters:

V_(dL) = 990 L × 10 dL

V_(dL) = 9900 dL

The final result is:

990 L → 9900 dL

We conclude that 990 liters is equivalent to 9900 deciliters:

990 liters = 9900 deciliters
