Are vs Decimal: which is bigger?
A are is the larger unit: one are equals 2.471054 decimals. Put another way, you need 2.471054 decimals to make a single are.
What is a Are? History, origin and usage
The are is the original metric unit of land area, established by the French Revolutionary metric law of 1795 as 100 square metres. Its name comes from the Latin area, and it gave rise to the much more widely used hectare (100 ares).
Today the are itself is rarely used in everyday measurement, having been largely displaced by the square metre and the hectare. It survives mainly in a few European cadastral contexts and as the building block from which the hectare is defined.
One are is a square of 10 metres by 10 metres, and 100 ares make one hectare. It is one of the few metric units whose name survives chiefly inside a larger derived unit.
What is a Decimal? History, origin and usage
The decimal, also called satak or dismil, is a unit equal to one-hundredth of an acre that arose from British-era revenue surveys, which divided the acre into 100 equal parts. In Bengali-speaking areas it is satak, from shotangsho meaning 'hundredth part', the same idea that gives the unit its English name.
It is widely used across eastern India, especially Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand, as well as in Bangladesh, for residential plots, agricultural land and government land records. Property advertisements and news reports in these regions still quote land in decimals.
One decimal is identical in size to one cent, both being one-hundredth of an acre (about 435.6 square feet). One hundred decimals therefore make exactly one acre.

Tips for converting Are to Decimal
- To go from are to decimal, multiply by 2.471054; to go back, divide by 2.471054 (or multiply by 0.4046856).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 are ≈ 2.471054 decimal, so 10 are ≈ 24.71054 decimal.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Are to Decimal converter
Type a number into the Are field and the equivalent in Decimal appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Decimal field to convert the other way (decimal to are). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 are = 2.471054decimal), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for are-to-decimal conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
