🧮 Conversion Formulas

Centimeters to Meters

Formula:

meters = cm ÷ 100

meters = cm × 0.01

Why?

"Centi" means 1/100

1 cm = 1/100 of a meter

Therefore: 100 cm = 1 m

Example:

350 cm ÷ 100 = 3.5 m

Meters to Centimeters

Formula:

cm = meters × 100

Related Conversions:

1 m = 100 cm

1 m = 1,000 mm

1 m = 0.001 km

1 m = 3.28084 feet

Example:

2.5 m × 100 = 250 cm

How to convert centimeters to meters

1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters:

1cm = 0.01m

The distance d in meters (m) is equal to the distance d in centimeters (cm) divided by 100:

d_(m) = d_(cm) / 100

Example

Convert 20 centimeters to meters:

d_(m) = 20cm / 100 = 0.2m

How many meters in a centimeter

One centimeter is equal to 0.01 meter:
