What is one meganewton in decinewtons?

One meganewton is equal to ten million decinewtons.

When should I convert meganewtons to decinewtons?

You convert meganewtons to decinewtons when you need to express very large forces in finer, more precise smaller units, often moving from large-scale engineering contexts to detailed laboratory measurements.

Are there any challenges when converting between these units?

Yes, the large difference in unit scale can lead to very large numeric values that might be difficult to manage without appropriate notation and attention to measurement precision.
