Conversion formula
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 3 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 3 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
3 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 3 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 300 cm
The final result is:
3 m → 300 cm
We conclude that 3 meters is equivalent to 300 centimeters:
3 meters = 300 centimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.0033333333333333 × 3 meters.
Another way is saying that 3 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0033333333333333 centimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that three meters is approximately three hundred centimeters:
3 m ≅ 300 cm
An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero point zero zero three times three meters.
