convert Nanometer to decameter

Conversion Formula

1 nm = 1.0E-10 dam

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
   1 dam = 10 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 nm = (1.0E-9 m) / (10 m/dam) = 1.0E-10 dam
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in nm by 1.0E-10 to get the equivalent in dam

Example Conversion

Convert 5 nm to dam:

5 nm × 1.0E-10 = 5.0E-10 dam
