1 cm = 0.01 m

To convert 116 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 116 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

116 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 116 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 1.16 m

The final result is:

116 cm → 1.16 m

We conclude that 116 centimeters is equivalent to 1.16 meters:

116 centimeters = 1.16 meters
