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 24 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 24 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

24 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 24 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 0.24 m

The final result is:

24 cm → 0.24 m

We conclude that 24 centimeters is equivalent to 0.24 meters:

24 centimeters = 0.24 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 4.1666666666667 × 24 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 24 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 4.1666666666667 meters.

Approximate result

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

24 cm ≅ 0.24 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately four point one six seven times twenty-four centimeters.
