Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to meters is 0.01, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters:

1 cm = 0.01 m

To convert 10 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 10 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.01 m

10 cm → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 10 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 0.1 m

The final result is:

10 cm → 0.1 m

We conclude that 10 centimeters is equivalent to 0.1 meters:

10 centimeters = 0.1 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 10 × 10 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 10 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 10 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that ten centimeters is approximately zero point one meters:

10 cm ≅ 0.1 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately ten times ten centimeters.
