1 m = 10 dm
1 Meter (m) = 10 Decimeter (dm).
If you want to reverse convert, use Decimeter → Meter. 1 dm = 0.1 m. You can also explore the full Length converter page for more cross conversions.
Conversion formula
Meter to Decimeter formula: value in dm = value in m × 10.
Decimeter to Meter formula: value in m = value in dm × 0.1.
How to convert Meter to Decimeter
To convert Meter to Decimeter, multiply the value in m by 10. This gives the result in dm.
For example, 1 m = 10 dm and 10 m = 100 dm.
What is Meter?
Meter (m): The SI base unit of length. It suits everyday measurements such as room widths, fabric lengths and building heights. 1 m = 100 cm = 1000 mm.
What is Decimeter?
Decimeter (dm): One tenth of a metre. It bridges centimetres and metres in school measurements and appears in volume calculations using cubic decimetres. 1 dm = 10 cm = 0.1 m.
