How to convert decimeters to nanometers
1 decimeter is equal to 100,000,000 nanometers, and 1 nanometer is equal to 1 × 10⁻⁸ decimeters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
nanometers = decimeters × 100,000,000
nanometers = decimeters ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁸Example: convert 1 dm to nm: 1 × 100,000,000 = 100,000,000 nm.

About the decimeter
A decimeter is one tenth of a meter (10 cm). A cube one decimeter on each side holds exactly one liter.
Symbol: dm · 1 dm = 0.1 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
Symbol: nm · 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m · Category: Metric (SI)
