How to convert decimeters to gigameters
1 decimeter is equal to 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ gigameters, and 1 gigameter is equal to 10,000,000,000 decimeters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
gigameters = decimeters × 1 × 10⁻¹⁰
gigameters = decimeters ÷ 10,000,000,000Example: convert 1 dm to Gm: 1 × 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ Gm.

About the decimeter
A decimeter is one tenth of a meter (10 cm). A cube one decimeter on each side holds exactly one liter.
