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 316 kilometers into centimeters we have to multiply 316 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

316 km → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 316 km × 100000 cm

L_(cm) = 31600000 cm

The final result is:

316 km → 31600000 cm

We conclude that 316 kilometers is equivalent to 31600000 centimeters:

316 kilometers = 31600000 centimeters
