Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to centimeters is 100000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 100000 centimeters:

1 km = 100000 cm

To convert 104 kilometers into centimeters we have to multiply 104 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 100000 cm

104 km → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 104 km × 100000 cm

L_(cm) = 10400000 cm

The final result is:

104 km → 10400000 cm

We conclude that 104 kilometers is equivalent to 10400000 centimeters:

104 kilometers = 10400000 centimeters
