Conversion formula
The conversion factor from meters to centimeters is 100, which means that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters:
1 m = 100 cm
To convert 40 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 40 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from meters to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m → 100 cm
40 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 40 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 4000 cm
The final result is:
40 m → 4000 cm
We conclude that 40 meters is equivalent to 4000 centimeters:
40 meters = 4000 centimeters
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 centimeter is equal to 0.00025 × 40 meters.
Another way is saying that 40 meters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00025 centimeters.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty meters is approximately four thousand centimeters:
40 m ≅ 4000 cm
An alternative is also that one centimeter is approximately zero times forty meters.
