The conversion factor from meters to centimeters is 100, which means that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters:
1 m = 100 cm
To convert 242 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 242 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 100 cm
242 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 242 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 24200 cm
The final result is:
242 m → 24200 cm
