Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 1010 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 1010 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

1010 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 1010 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.0101 km

The final result is:

1010 cm → 0.0101 km

We conclude that 1010 centimeters is equivalent to 0.0101 kilometers:

1010 centimeters = 0.0101 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 99.009900990099 × 1010 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1010 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 99.009900990099 kilometers.

Approximate result

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

1010 cm ≅ 0.01 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately ninety-nine point zero one times one thousand ten centimeters.
