Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to meters is 0.01, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters:

1 cm = 0.01 m

To convert 1600 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 1600 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

1600 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 1600 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 16 m

The final result is:

1600 cm → 16 m

We conclude that 1600 centimeters is equivalent to 16 meters:

1600 centimeters = 16 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.0625 × 1600 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1600 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0625 meters.

Approximate result

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

1600 cm ≅ 16 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero six three times one thousand six hundred centimeters.
