Converter

Input

Result

100cm

cm = m × 100

m = cm × 0.01

Example: 10 m = 10 × 100 = 1,000 cm.

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

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