    How to Convert Centimeter

    The centimeter can be converted to other units of length by using conversion factors or formulas. Here are some examples of how to convert centimeters to other units of length in the SI system, the US customary system and other systems:

  • To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 10 = 100 mm.
  • To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100. For example, 10 cm = 10 / 100 = 0.1 m.
  • To convert centimeters to kilometers, divide by 100000. For example, 10 cm = 10 / 100000 = 0.0001 km.
  • To convert centimeters to inches, multiply by 0.3937. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.3937 = 3.937 in.
  • To convert centimeters to feet, multiply by 0.0328. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.0328 = 0.328 ft.
  • To convert centimeters to yards, multiply by 0.0109. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.0109 = 0.109 yd.
  • To convert centimeters to miles, multiply by 0.0000062137. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.0000062137 = 0.000062137 mi.
  • To convert centimeters to nanometers, multiply by 10000000. For example, one cm = one × 10000000 = 10000000 nm.
  • To convert centimeters to micrometers, multiply by 10000. For example, one cm = one × 10000 = 10000 µm.
