Converting from Kilometers (km) to Centimeters (cm)

Converting between kilometers (km) and centimeters (cm) is essential when dealing with different scales of measurement. Kilometers are used for longer distances, such as road lengths or city-to-city measurements, while centimeters are commonly used to measure smaller objects or short distances.

What is a Kilometer (km)?

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1,000 meters (m). Kilometers are typically used for measuring longer distances, such as the length of a road, the distance between cities, or the distance traveled by vehicles.

  • 1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (m)
  • Kilometers are used worldwide and are especially common for measuring large distances.

What is a Centimeter (cm)?

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter (0.01 m). Centimeters are often used for measuring shorter distances or small objects, such as the length of a pencil or the width of a piece of paper.

  • 1 centimeter (cm) = 0.01 meter (m)
  • 100 centimeters (cm) = 1 meter (m)

Conversion Formulas

To convert between kilometers (km) and centimeters (cm), the following formulas can be used:

From Kilometer to Centimeter (cm)

To convert from kilometers (km) to centimeters (cm), multiply the number of kilometers by 100,000. The formula is:

\text{Centimeters} = \text{Kilometers} \times 100,000

From Centimeter to Kilometer (km)

To convert from centimeters (cm) to kilometers (km), divide the number of centimeters by 100,000. The formula is:

\text{Kilometers} = \frac{\text{Centimeters}}{100,000}

Examples of Conversion

Example 1: Converting 7 Kilometers to Centimeters

To convert 7 kilometer to centimeter, multiply by 100,000:

\text{Centimeters} = 7 , \text{km} \times 100,000 = 700,000 , \text{cm}

Thus, 7 kilometers equals 700,000 centimeters.

Example 2: Converting 11 Kilometers to Centimeters

To convert 11 kilometer to centimeter, multiply by 100,000:

\text{Centimeters} = 11 , \text{km} \times 100,000 = 1,100,000 , \text{cm}

Thus, 11 kilometers equals 1,100,000 centimeters.

Example 3: Converting 17 Kilometers to Centimeters

To convert 17 kilometer to centimeter, multiply by 100,000:

\text{Centimeters} = 17 , \text{km} \times 100,000 = 1,700,000 , \text{cm}

Thus, 17 kilometers equals 1,700,000 centimeters.
