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 2000 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 2000 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

2000 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 2000 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 20 m

The final result is:

2000 cm → 20 m

We conclude that 2000 centimeters is equivalent to 20 meters:

2000 centimeters = 20 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.05 × 2000 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 2000 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.05 meters.

Approximate result

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

2000 cm ≅ 20 m

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