To convert 1208 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 1208 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

1208 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 1208 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 12.08 m

The final result is:

1208 cm → 12.08 m

We conclude that 1208 centimeters is equivalent to 12.08 meters:

1208 centimeters = 12.08 meters
