Convert centimeters to meters |
|
The calculator allows you to convert centimeters to meters. Perform the reverse calculation: convert meters to centimeters |
1 m = 100 cm |
To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100. ExampleWe are going to convert a distance d of 150 centimeters to meters.Distance d = 150 cm 1 cm = 0.01 cm = 1 / 100 cm d = 150 cm = 150 / 100 = 1.5 m Other examplesHere are four examples of how to convert centimeters (cm) to meters (m):Convert 250 cm to meters: To convert 250 cm to meters, divide the number of centimeters by 100: 250 cm / 100 = 2.5 m Convert 480 cm to meters: 480 cm / 100 = 4.8 m Convert 1200 cm to meters: 1200 cm / 100 = 12 m Convert 75 cm to meters: 75 cm / 100 = 0.75 m Conversion table centimeters to meters (m to cm)
CentimetersCentimeters are a unit of measurement used to measure length or distance. One centimeter is equal to one hundredth of a meter, or 0.01 meter. Centimeters can be easily converted to other units of length, such as meters or millimeters, by multiplying or dividing by factors of ten. For example, one meter is equal to 100 centimeters, and one centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters. The symbol for centimeter is "cm". It is a combination of the letter "c" and "m", which stand for centi and meter respectively. "Centi" is a prefix used in the International System of Units (SI) to indicate a factor of 1/100. It is abbreviated as "c" and is commonly used with the base units of length, mass, and volume to indicate sub-multiples. For example, centimeter (cm) is 1/100 of a meter (m). The prefix "centi" comes from the Latin word "centum," which means one hundred.MetersThe meter is the basic unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for meter is "m". Meters are a unit of measurement commonly used to measure length or distance. The meter can be divided into smaller units, such as centimeters or millimeters, or into larger units, such as kilometers. |
