A meter is much smaller than a kilometer (by 1000), so it "comes first."
A kilometer is one thousand TIMES a meter (1 meter X 103) and a megameter is one million TIMES a meter (1 meter X 106), while a millimeter is one thousANDTH of a meter (1 meter X 10-3) and a micrometer is one millionTH of a meter (1 meter X 10-6).
The prefix (e.g. kilo) attached to the unit (e.g. meter) defines the multiplier, as in kilo means "1000 times" andmegameans "million times," while milli means "1/1000 of" and micro means " one millionth of." So, for example,kilometercan broken down into kilo and meter, suggesting 1000 times a meter, which is equal to 1000 meters.
The prefix either breaks a unit (in this case meters) into parts of the unit or multiplies of the unit, depending on the SIGN (+ or -) of the exponent attached to the prefix (negative exponents refer to fractions of the unit [smaller] while positive exponents refer to multiples of the unit [bigger]).

1000 m = 1 km 100 cm = 1 m ⇒ 100000 cm = 1 km ⇒ 6 cm = 6 ÷ 100000 km = 0.00006 km
Lengths, distances and heights can be measured in kilometres (km) or metres (m). 1 m = 100 cm 1 km = 1000 m = 100 000 cm
100,000 it is simple, there are 100 centimeters in a meter and 1000 meters in a kilometer, so 100 multiplied by 1000 is 100,000.
There are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer. Therefore, to convert 0.55 kilometers to centimeters, you would multiply 0.55 by 100,000. This calculation results in 55,000 centimeters in 0.55 kilometers.
No, a centimeter is 100,000 times smaller than a kilometer.
1 km = 1000 m 1 m = 100 cm 1 cm = 10 mm
The conversion between km, m and cm are given .On finding the relation we get as follows . we know, 1 km=1000 m=100000 cm. from the above we can conclude , km > m > cm.
cm.
100 cm = 1 metre so 86000 cm = 860 m 1000 m = 1 km so 860 m = 0.86 km
100 cm = 1 m 1000 m = 1 km ⇒ 1000 x 100 cm = 1km ⇒ 100000 cm = 1 km ⇒ 120 cm = 120 ÷100000 km = 0.0012 km
1000 m = 1 km 100 cm = 1 m ⇒ 100000 cm = 1 km ⇒ 6 cm = 6 ÷ 100000 km = 0.00006 km
100 cm = 1 m 1000 m = 1 km → 1000 x 100 cm = 1 km → 100000 cm = 1 km → To convert cm to km, divide by 100000 → 86000 cm = 86000 ÷ 100000 km = 0.86 km
633 cm = 0.00633 km {There are 1000 m in a km, and 100 cm in a m, so there are 100,000 cm in a km; divide by 100,000}
1 km = 1000 m; 1 m = 100 cm so 1 km = 100,000 cm And so, 513 km = 51,300,000 cm. Simple!
1 km = 1000 m 1 m = 100 cm Therefore, 1 km = 100 000 cm and 5.2 km = 520 000 cm or 520 thousand centimeters.
7 km = 7*1000 m = 7*1000*100 cm = 700000 cm
2.8 km 2800 m 280,000 cm
