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 12.4 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 12.4 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
12.4 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 12.4 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 1240 cm
The final result is:
12.4 m → 1240 cm
We conclude that 12.4 meters is equivalent to 1240 centimeters:
12.4 meters = 1240 centimeters
