To convert 4200 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 4200 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

4200 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 4200 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 42 m

The final result is:

4200 cm → 42 m

We conclude that 4200 centimeters is equivalent to 42 meters:

4200 centimeters = 42 meters
