Conversion formula
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 500 liters into deciliters we have to multiply 500 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
500 L → V(dL)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in deciliters:
V(dL) = 500 L × 10 dL
V(dL) = 5000 dL
The final result is:
500 L → 5000 dL
We conclude that 500 liters is equivalent to 5000 deciliters:
500 liters = 5000 deciliters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 deciliter is equal to 0.0002 × 500 liters.
Another way is saying that 500 liters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0002 deciliters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five hundred liters is approximately five thousand deciliters:
500 L ≅ 5000 dL
An alternative is also that one deciliter is approximately zero times five hundred liters.
