You would place "centimeters" in numerator and "centimeters per inch" in the denominator.
(centimeters)/(centimeters/inch) = [(centimeters) x (inch)] / [centimeters] which yields "inch(es)"
1 inch = 2.54 cm
14 cm = 14/2.54 inch
The conversion factor is 2.54 cm = 1 in The way to use it in converting from cm to in is to divide the number of cm by 2.54 to get the number of inches that will equal that metric measurement. Number of inches in "x" cm = x divided by 2.54
Divide the length you have measured in cm by 2.54 to get inches Multiply the length you have measured in inches by 2.54 to get cm
2.54 or 1/2.54 depending on which direction you are converting
