Year to Decade Converter
How to Convert Years to Decades
To convert from years (yr) to decades (dec), you divide the number of years by 10. This is because 1 decade is equal to 10 years.
Formula
Decades = Years ÷ 10
or
dec = yr ÷ 10
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in years
- Divide that number by 10
- The result is the equivalent time in decades
Examples
- 10 yr = 10 ÷ 10 = 1 dec
- 20 yr = 20 ÷ 10 = 2 dec
