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 2008 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 2008 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

2008 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 2008 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 20.08 m

The final result is:

2008 cm → 20.08 m

We conclude that 2008 centimeters is equivalent to 20.08 meters:

2008 centimeters = 20.08 meters
