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 37 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 37 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

37 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 37 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 0.37 m

The final result is:

37 cm → 0.37 m

We conclude that 37 centimeters is equivalent to 0.37 meters:

37 centimeters = 0.37 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 2.7027027027027 × 37 centimeters.
