Conversion formula
How to convert 500 decimeters to millimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 dm = 100 mm.

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

1 dm / 500 dm = 100 mm / x mm

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

x mm = (500 dm / 1 dm) * 100 mm → x mm = 50000 mm

Conclusion:

500 dm = 50000 mm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 millimeter is equal to 2e-05 times 500 decimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 500 decimeters is equal to 1 / 2e-05 millimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: five hundred decimeters is about fifty thousand millimeters, or alternatively, a millimeter is about zero times five hundred decimeters.
