How to Convert Years to Decades

To convert a year measurement to a decade measurement, divide the time by the conversion ratio.

Since one decade is equal to 10 years, you can use this simple formula to convert:

decades = years ÷ 10

The time in decades is equal to the years divided by 10.

For example, here's how to convert 5 years to decades using the formula above.
5 yr = (5 ÷ 10) = 0.5 decades
