Is 869 deciliters as big as Halley's Comet?

It's about 0.00000000000002 times as big as Halley's Comet
The size of Halley's Comet is about 40,000,000,000,000,000.0000000000000000000 deciliters.
(Comet Halley, officially "1P/Halley") (volume calculated based on 2005 dimensions)
Halley's Comet, the famous comet visible to observers on Earth approximately every 76 years, has a peanut- or potato-shaped nucleus made of rock, dust, ice, and various frozen gasses. The nucleus measures approximately 15 km by 8 km by 8 km, which yields a calculated volume of 40,000,000,000,000,000.0000000000000000000 deciliters. The coma of the Comet — the trail of sublimated gasses that give the Comet its visibility — may be up to 100,000 km in length.
