Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between nanometers and decameters.
What is a nanometer (nm)?
A nanometer is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for nanometer is nm. There are 10,000,000,000 nanometers in a decameter. The International spelling for this unit is nanometre.
What is a decameter (dam)?
A decameter is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for decameter is dam. Commonly a decameter is referred to as a dekameter and then the symbol used is dkm instead of dam. There are 0.0000000001 decameters in a nanometer. The International spelling for this unit is decametre.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from nm to dam is:
dam = nm ÷ 10,000,000,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from nanometers to decameters (nm to dam).
Nanometer to Decameter Conversion Example
