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 200 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 200 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

200 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 200 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 2 m

The final result is:

200 cm → 2 m

We conclude that 200 centimeters is equivalent to 2 meters:

200 centimeters = 2 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.5 × 200 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 200 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.5 meters.

Approximate result

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

200 cm ≅ 2 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point five times two hundred centimeters.
