Conversion formula

The conversion factor from yards to decimeters is 9.144, which means that 1 yard is equal to 9.144 decimeters:

1 yd = 9.144 dm

To convert 997 yards into decimeters we have to multiply 997 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from yards to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 yd → 9.144 dm

997 yd → L_(dm)

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

L_(dm) = 997 yd × 9.144 dm

L_(dm) = 9116.568 dm

The final result is:

997 yd → 9116.568 dm

We conclude that 997 yards is equivalent to 9116.568 decimeters:

997 yards = 9116.568 decimeters
