Conversion formula

The conversion factor from millimeters to centimeters is 0.1, which means that 1 millimeter is equal to 0.1 centimeters:

1 mm = 0.1 cm

To convert 24 millimeters into centimeters we have to multiply 24 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from millimeters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mm → 0.1 cm

24 mm → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 24 mm × 0.1 cm

L_(cm) = 2.4 cm

The final result is:

24 mm → 2.4 cm

We conclude that 24 millimeters is equivalent to 2.4 centimeters:

24 millimeters = 2.4 centimeters
