Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to millimeters is 10, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters:

1 cm = 10 mm

To convert 1500 centimeters into millimeters we have to multiply 1500 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to millimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 10 mm

1500 cm → L_(mm)

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

L_(mm) = 1500 cm × 10 mm

L_(mm) = 15000 mm

The final result is:

1500 cm → 15000 mm

We conclude that 1500 centimeters is equivalent to 15000 millimeters:

1500 centimeters = 15000 millimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 millimeter is equal to 6.6666666666667E-5 × 1500 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1500 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 6.6666666666667E-5 millimeters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred centimeters is approximately fifteen thousand millimeters:

1500 cm ≅ 15000 mm

An alternative is also that one millimeter is approximately zero times one thousand five hundred centimeters.
