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 3.3 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 3.3 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

3.3 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 3.3 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 0.033 m

The final result is:

3.3 cm → 0.033 m

We conclude that 3.3 centimeters is equivalent to 0.033 meters:

3.3 centimeters = 0.033 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 30.30303030303 × 3.3 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 3.3 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 30.30303030303 meters.

Approximate result

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

3.3 cm ≅ 0.033 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately thirty point three zero three times three point three centimeters.
