convert Nanometer to decimeter

Conversion Formula

1 nm = 1.0E-8 dm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
   1 dm = 0.1 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 nm = (1.0E-9 m) / (0.1 m/dm) = 1.0E-8 dm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in nm by 1.0E-8 to get the equivalent in dm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 nm to dm:

5 nm × 1.0E-8 = 5.0E-8 dm
