.01 or 1/100 square decimeters per square centimeter
---------------------------------------------------------------
100 square centimeters in a decimeter
to find this is simple, we have 1 decimeter squared:
1dm2
or
1 dm X 1dm
we know 1 decimeter = .1 centimeters, so:
.1cm X .1cm = .001cm2
You can use this for just about any conversion, even complicated ones like feet, yards and miles. If you're not sure how much your conversion factor is directly, then you can take an extra step and use this to convert to a the basic unit of measurement, like meters, then convert to centimeters. If you're doing volume instead of area, all you do is break it apart more, for ex: 1cm3=1cmX1cmX1cm=100mX100mX100m=1000000m3.
