Result

0.01m

m = cm × 0.01

cm = m × 100

Example: 10 cm = 10 × 0.01 = 0.1 m.

Express both cm and m in the same base unit m (meter), then cancel the shared base unit.

1
Rewrite cm in the base unit
$1 cm = 0.01 m$
2
Rewrite m in the base unit
$1 m = 1 m$
3
Forward conversion
$1 cm = \frac{0.01 m}{1 m} \times 1 m = \frac{0.01}{1} m = 0.01 m$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 m = \frac{1 m}{0.01 m} \times 1 cm = \frac{1}{0.01} cm = 100 cm$
