Conversion formula
The conversion factor from kilometers to centimeters is 100000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 100000 centimeters:
1 km = 100000 cm
To convert 42.8 kilometers into centimeters we have to multiply 42.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to centimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 km → 100000 cm
42.8 km → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 42.8 km × 100000 cm
L(cm) = 4280000 cm
The final result is:
42.8 km → 4280000 cm
We conclude that 42.8 kilometers is equivalent to 4280000 centimeters:
42.8 kilometers = 4280000 centimeters
