Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to centimeters is 100000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 100000 centimeters:

1 km = 100000 cm

To convert 234 kilometers into centimeters we have to multiply 234 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 100000 cm

234 km → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 234 km × 100000 cm

L_(cm) = 23400000 cm

The final result is:

234 km → 23400000 cm

We conclude that 234 kilometers is equivalent to 23400000 centimeters:

234 kilometers = 23400000 centimeters
