Picometer to decimeter converter (pm to dm)

Conversion Formula

1 pm = 1.0E-11 dm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 pm = 1.0E-12 meters
   1 dm = 0.1 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 pm = (1.0E-12 m) / (0.1 m/dm) = 1.0E-11 dm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in pm by 1.0E-11 to get the equivalent in dm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 pm to dm:

5 pm × 1.0E-11 = 5.0E-11 dm
