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 4 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 4 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
4 cm → L(m)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:
L(m) = 4 cm × 0.01 m
L(m) = 0.04 m
The final result is:
4 cm → 0.04 m
We conclude that 4 centimeters is equivalent to 0.04 meters:
4 centimeters = 0.04 meters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 25 × 4 centimeters.
