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 360 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 360 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

360 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 360 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 3.6 m

The final result is:

360 cm → 3.6 m

We conclude that 360 centimeters is equivalent to 3.6 meters:

360 centimeters = 3.6 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.27777777777778 × 360 centimeters.
