Converter

Input

Result

100,000cm

cm = km × 100,000

km = cm × 0.00001

Example: 10 km = 10 × 100,000 = 1,000,000 cm.

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

1
Rewrite km in the base unit
$1 km = 1, 000 m$
2
Rewrite cm in the base unit
$1 cm = 0.01 m$
3
Forward conversion
$1 km = \frac{1 , 000 m}{0.01 m} \times 1 cm = \frac{1 , 000}{0.01} cm = 100, 000 cm$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 cm = \frac{0.01 m}{1 , 000 m} \times 1 km = \frac{0.01}{1 , 000} km = 0.00001 km$
