Formula: divide centimeters by 100 to get meters
How to convert centimeters to meters
To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100. There are exactly 100 centimeters in every meter. For example, 175 cm ÷ 100 = 1.75 meters. Going the other way, multiply meters by 100 to get centimeters.
To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10. So 175 cm × 10 = 1750 mm.
1 cm = 0.01 meters = 10 millimeters. This is one of the simplest metric conversions. The prefix “centi” means one hundredth, so 1 centimeter is one hundredth of a meter.
