How to convert gigameters to dekameters
1 gigameter is equal to 100,000,000 dekameters, and 1 dekameter is equal to 1 × 10⁻⁸ gigameters. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
dekameters = gigameters × 100,000,000
dekameters = gigameters ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁸Example: convert 1 Gm to dam: 1 × 100,000,000 = 100,000,000 dam.

About the gigameter
A gigameter is one billion meters. The Moon orbits about 0.38 Gm from Earth, and the Sun's diameter is about 1.39 Gm.
Symbol: Gm · 1 Gm = 1,000,000,000 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the dekameter
A dekameter (also spelled decameter) is 10 meters. It's an SI unit that is seldom used in practice, apart from some sports and forestry measurements.
