Conversion formula
How to convert 100 decimeters to centimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 dm = 10 cm.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of centimeters.

1 dm / 100 dm = 10 cm / x cm

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x cm = (100 dm / 1 dm) * 10 cm → x cm = 1000 cm

Conclusion:

100 dm = 1000 cm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.001 times 100 decimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 100 decimeters is equal to 1 / 0.001 centimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred decimeters is about one thousand centimeters, or alternatively, a centimeter is about zero times one hundred decimeters.
