convert Decimeter to nanometer

Conversion Formula

1 dm = 100000000 nm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 dm = 0.1 meters
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 dm = (0.1 m) / (1.0E-9 m/nm) = 100000000 nm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in dm by 100000000 to get the equivalent in nm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 dm to nm:

5 dm × 100000000 = 500000000 nm
