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 266 kilometers into centimeters we have to multiply 266 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

266 km → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 266 km × 100000 cm

L_(cm) = 26600000 cm

The final result is:

266 km → 26600000 cm

We conclude that 266 kilometers is equivalent to 26600000 centimeters:
