1 Decimal = 48.4 Gaj (decimal → gaj). To convert decimal to gaj, multiply by 48.4. To convert gaj to decimal, multiply by 0.02066116. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common decimal-to-gaj questions.
How to convert Decimal to Gaj
To convert decimal to gaj, multiply the number of decimal by the conversion factor 48.4, because 1 decimal = 48.4 gaj. The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 gaj = 0.02066116 decimal, so you divide by 48.4 (or multiply by 0.02066116) to turn gaj back into decimal.
gaj = decimal × 48.4 ·
decimal = gaj × 0.02066116
- Write down the value you want to convert, in decimal.
- Multiply it by 48.4.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in gaj.

Decimal vs Gaj: which is bigger?
A decimal is the larger unit: one decimal equals 48.4 gajs. Put another way, you need 48.4 gajs to make a single decimal.
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.
What is a Gaj? History, origin and usage
As a land unit the gaj is simply a square gaj, the gaj (or gaz) being the South Asian yard. The word descends from the Classical Persian gaz, a yard-like length carried into Hindustani during the Mughal era, when Emperor Akbar standardised an Ilahi gaz of about 33 inches around 1584. It is unrelated to the identical-sounding Hindi word gaj meaning elephant.
Gaj is the everyday unit for plots, houses and carpet area across North India, especially Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan, where listings routinely quote a plot as so many gaj. It is functionally the square yard, so it sits between the square foot and larger units like the bigha or acre.
One gaj equals one square yard, which is nine square feet, so a 100-gaj plot is 900 square feet. The same word for the linear yard also gives Indian roads their old milestone measurements.

Tips for converting Decimal to Gaj
- To go from decimal to gaj, multiply by 48.4; to go back, divide by 48.4 (or multiply by 0.02066116).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 decimal ≈ 48.4 gaj, so 10 decimal ≈ 484 gaj.
- 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 Decimal to Gaj converter
Type a number into the Decimal field and the equivalent in Gaj 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 Gaj field to convert the other way (gaj to decimal). 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 decimal = 48.4 gaj), 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 decimal-to-gaj conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
