Best Answer

1 meter is 100 centimeters.

1 centimeter is 0.01 meter.

Therefore to convert centimeters into meters, just Divide by 100.

Examples:

So if you had 330cm it would become 3.3m

500 centimetres is equal to 500/100 = 5 metres

740 centimetres is equal to 740/100 = 7.4 metres.

Metre is the SI unit of length. centi means 1/100th or a hundredth of a unit. This is where centimetre comes from.


The centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100)

Thus 1 centimetre is 1/100 metre

→ to convert cm to m multiply by 100:

m = 100 × cm
