About this conversion
The millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for engineering and manufacturing tolerances and bolt and screw dimensions. The dm (dm) belongs to the a different measurement system and is typically found in measurements related to various applications. By definition, one millimeter is one thousandth of a meter (0.001 m). The conversion factor between these two units is 0.01: multiplying any value in mm by this number gives the equivalent in dm. For example, 10 mm equals 0.1000 dm. Going the other direction, 1 dm equals 100 mm.
