A meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units.

The meter became the central metric length unit and is used as the reference for centimeters, millimeters, and kilometers.

Centimeter

A centimeter (cm), also spelled centimetre, is a metric unit of length in the International System of Units. The centi- prefix means one hundredth.

One centimeter is equal to 1/100 of a meter (m), 10 millimeters (mm), and 1/2.54 of an inch.

How to Convert Meter to Centimeter

Mathematically, centimeter (cm) = meter (m) multiplied by the conversion factor shown below.

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

1 m x 100 = 100 cm

The distance in centimeter (cm) is the distance in meter (m) multiplied by 100.

distance(cm) = distance(m) x 100

Or:

cm = m x 100

Formula: value × 100

Example: 15 m = 1,500 cm

Example #1

Convert 3 meter to centimeter:

3 m x 100 = 300 cm

Example #2

Convert 25 meter to centimeter:

25 m x 100 = 2,500 cm

  1. Start with the length in meters (m).
  2. Multiply by 100 to convert meters into centimeters.
  3. Keep decimals only when the source measurement is precise enough to support them.

Precision note: The m to cm conversion is exact. The final number should not imply more measurement accuracy than the original meter value provides.

How many m in cm and cm in m

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

If you are starting with centimeter instead, use the cm to meters page.
