Square Decimeter to Square Nanometer converter (dm2 to nm2)

Conversion Formula

1 dm2 = 1.0E+16 nm2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Decimeter = 0.01 m²
   1 Square Nanometer = 1.0E-18 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 dm2 = (0.01 m²) / (1.0E-18 m²/nm2) = 1.0E+16 nm2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in dm2 by 1.0E+16 to get the equivalent in nm2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 dm2 to nm2:

5 dm2 × 1.0E+16 = 5.0E+16 nm2
