To convert 318 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 318 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

318 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 318 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 3.18 m

The final result is:

318 cm → 3.18 m

We conclude that 318 centimeters is equivalent to 3.18 meters:

318 centimeters = 3.18 meters
