Meters to cm Conversion Factor

The meter to cm conversion factor is 100

To find how many meters are there in a centimeter, just multiply the quantity in meters by 100.

You can also use the formula to convert from meters to cm below:

Value in centimeters = value in meters × 100

Examples:

Convert half meter to centimeters:
half meters = 0.5 × 100 = 50 centimeters.

Convert a meter to centimeters:
a meter = 1 × 100 = 100 centimeters.

Convert two meters to centimeters:
two meters = 2 × 100 = 200 centimeters.

Note: All values are rounded to 3 significant figures.

More Examples:

Convert three meters to centimeters three meters = 3 × 300 = 300 centimeters.

Convert 4 meters to centimeters 4 meters = 4 × 400 = 400 centimeters.

Convert half meter to centimeters half meters = 0.5 × 50 = 50 centimeters.

Convert a quarter meter to centimeters a quarter meters = 0.25 × 25 = 25 centimeters.

Convert one-fifth meter to centimeters one-fifth meters = 0.2 × 20 = 20 centimeters.

Convert one-eighth meter to centimeters one-eighth meters = 0.125 × 12.5 = 12.5 centimeters.

Note: All values are rounded to 3 significant figures.

Definition of Meter

The meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. One metre is about 3 3⁄8 inches longer than a yard, i.e. about 39 3⁄8 inches.

Here are some common conversions from meters to other length units:

1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 meter = 3.28084 feet
1 meter = 1.09361 yards
1 meter = 0.000621371 miles
1 meter = 39.3701 inches

Conversely, to convert from these other units of length to metres, you would use the appropriate conversion factor, either by multiplying or dividing the original quantity by the factor.

In summary, the meter is a unit of length in the SI system and is commonly used to measure distance and length in a variety of contexts. Its basis in units of 10 makes it easy to convert to other units of length.

Here are some examples of things that measure about one meter (order of magnitude):

A typical human arm span
A meter stick or yardstick
A bicycle frame size
A large pizza
A three-foot (1 meter) long fish
A standard kitchen countertop
A medium-sized dog
A basketball hoop height
A typical pool cue length
A standard walking cane
A small ladder or step stool
Microwaves of 300 GHz have a wavelength of 1 mm

Definition of Centimeter

A centimeter (cm) is a decimal fraction of the meter, the International System of Units (SI) unit of length, approximately equivalent to 0.39 inches. The centimeter (cm) is a unit of length that was previously the base unit of length in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. Although SI prefixes for factors of 103 are preferred by technicians, the centimeter remains a practical unit of length for everyday measurements. An average adult person's fingernail width is approximately equal to one centimeter, making it useful for measuring small objects or distances.
