Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to centimeters is 100, which means that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters:
1 m = 100 cm
To convert 1000 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 1000 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 100 cm
1000 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 1000 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 100000 cm
The final result is:
1000 m → 100000 cm
We conclude that 1000 meters is equivalent to 100000 centimeters:
1000 meters = 100000 centimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 × 1000 meters.
Another way is saying that 1000 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 1.0E-5 centimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand meters is approximately one hundred thousand centimeters:
1000 m ≅ 100000 cm
An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero times one thousand meters.
