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 18 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 18 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

18 m → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 18 m × 100 cm

L_(cm) = 1800 cm

The final result is:

18 m → 1800 cm

We conclude that 18 meters is equivalent to 1800 centimeters:

18 meters = 1800 centimeters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00055555555555556 × 18 meters.
