• How to efficiently use this Omni converter.

Ready?

The kilometers and centimeters are units of length derived from the meter, which is the base length unit. The prefixes kilo- and centi- describe how the derivation works: kilo means a thousand of while centi means a hundredth part. So:

• 1 km =1000 m; and
• 1 cm = 0.01 m.

Jumping every time through meters is not necessary: it's much quicker to use directly the following km to cm conversion factors:

• 1 km = 100,000 cm = 10⁵ cm; and
• 1 cm = 0.00001 km = 10^-5 km.

Let's learn how to convert kilometers to meters and vice-versa!

To convert cm to km, you need to:

1. Write down the length given in centimeters.
2. Divide by 100,000. That's it!
3. Tip: dividing by 100,000 is the same as moving the decimal separator five positions to the left! Write down extra zeroes if there are not enough decimal places.

Omni's cm to km converter is very simple to use:

1. Enter the length in cm or km, depending on what data you have.
2. Click on Other metric/imperial length units, where our tool displays the length in the other unit.
3. As you can see, our converter knows many more length units! If you wish, play with them a bit!
