decimeter [dm]
Definition: A decimeter is a unit of length equal to one-tenth of a meter.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 18th century.
CurrentUse: It is less commonly used but can be found in some scientific contexts.
funfact: The prefix 'deci-' comes from the Latin word 'decimus,' meaning 'tenth.'
gigameter [Gm]
Definition: A gigameter is a unit of length equal to 1 billion meters.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 20th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe very large distances.
funfact: The prefix 'giga-' comes from the Greek word 'gigas,' meaning 'giant,' as it represents (10^{9}).

How to Convert decimeter to gigameter
1 decimeter [dm] = 9.999999999E-11 gigameter [Gm]
1 gigameter [Gm] = 10000000000 decimeter [dm]
we use cross multiplication method
decimeter [dm] → gigameter [Gm]
1 → 9.999999999E-11
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*9.999999999E-11=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-10
