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 208 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 208 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

208 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 208 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 2.08 m

The final result is:

208 cm → 2.08 m

We conclude that 208 centimeters is equivalent to 2.08 meters:

208 centimeters = 2.08 meters
