Centimeters to km formula

Centimeters to km formula

Use the formula below to convert any value from centimeters to km:

kilometers = centimeters × 1.0E-5

To convert from centimeters to kilometer, you just need to multiply the value in centimeters by 1.0E-5. (It is called the conversion factor)

Using the formula (some examples):

Convert full centimeter to kilometers:
a centimeter = 1 × 1.0E-5 = 1.0E-5 kilometers.

Convert two centimeter to kilometers:
two centimeter = 2 × 1.0E-5 = 2.0E-5 kilometers.

Convert five centimeters to kilometers:
5 centimeters = 5 × 1.0E-5 = 5.0E-5 kilometers.

More Examples:

Convert ten centimeters to kilometers: 10 centimeters = 10 × 1.0E-5 = 0.0001 kilometers.

Convert twenty centimeters to kilometers: 20 centimeters = 20 × 1.0E-5 = 0.0002 kilometers.

Convert fifty centimeters to kilometers: 50 centimeters = 50 × 1.0E-5 = 0.0005 kilometers.

Convert a hundred centimeters to kilometers: 100 centimeters = 100 × 1.0E-5 = 0.001 kilometers.

Convert a thousand centimeters to kilometers: 1000 centimeters = 1000 × 1.0E-5 = 0.01 kilometers.

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.
