Convert dekameter to megameter
Please provide values below to convert dekameter [dam] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to dekameter.
1 dam = 1e-05 Mm. To convert dekameter to megameter, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mm = 100000 dam). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dam = 1e-05 Mm
- 1 Mm = 100000 dam
- 10 dam = 0.0001 Mm
- 100 dam = 0.001 Mm
How to Convert Dekameter to Megameter
1 dam = 1e-05 Mm
Example: convert 15 dam to Mm:
15 dam = 15 × 1e-05 Mm = 0.00015 Mm

Dekameter
A dekameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "deka-" from the Greek "deka" meaning ten, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The dekameter is rarely used in practice. It is sometimes used in meteorology to measure altitude.
Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
