Converting 1m to dm, cm, mm helps you know how many dm, cm, or mm 1m is, however, you need to follow the general rule to ensure accuracy. If you often use length units, this will be a simple task, but for those who rarely use them, or for students who are first familiarizing themselves with this unit conversion, it will be difficult.
Converting 1m to dm, cm, mm is as follows:
1 m = 10 dm (One meter equals ten decimeters)
1 m = 100 cm (One meter equals one hundred centimeters)
1 m = 1000 mm (One meter equals one thousand millimeters)
1 km = 1000 m (1 Kilometer equals one thousand meters)
Order from largest to smallest when converting 1m to dm, cm, mm
m -->dm --> cm -->mm (Each unit in front is 10 times larger than the unit immediately behind). When converting back, you just need to decrease by 10 times compared to the previous unit:
- 1 mm = 0.1 cm
- 1 cm = 0.1 dm
- 1 dm = 0.1 m
So: 1mm = 0.1 cm = 0.01 dm = 0.001 m
Meter (or m, Metre) is a unit of distance measurement, part of the International System of Units (SI). Unlike m, cm, dm, mm, km, hm, and dam are used to measure longer distances. Besides m, many people often use the unit 'thước' instead of m.
Meter (m), Decimeter (dm), Centimeter (cm), Millimeter (mm) are common units of length measurement nowadays, all of these units are widely used, however, when applied in practice, applied in study and work, m, cm, dm are used more because these are common units of measurement, not too large nor too small.
Furthermore, if you encounter the symbol inch and don't know how many meters, centimeters it is, you can refer to how to convert inches to cm, m that we have introduced
