How to convert kilometers to centimeters

To convert kilometers to centimeters, multiply by 100,000. There are exactly 100,000 centimeters in every kilometer. For example, 2 km × 100,000 = 200,000 cm. Going the other way, divide centimeters by 100,000 to get kilometers.

To convert kilometers to miles, multiply by 0.621371. So 1 km × 0.621371 = 0.621 miles.

1 km = 100,000 cm = 1000 m = 0.621371 miles. The prefix “kilo” means one thousand so 1 km = 1000 m = 100,000 cm = 1,000,000 mm.
