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 1047 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 1047 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

1047 m → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 1047 m × 100 cm

L_(cm) = 104700 cm

The final result is:

1047 m → 104700 cm

We conclude that 1047 meters is equivalent to 104700 centimeters:

1047 meters = 104700 centimeters
