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 48 kilometers into centimeters we have to multiply 48 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
48 km → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 48 km × 100000 cm
L(cm) = 4800000 cm
The final result is:
48 km → 4800000 cm
We conclude that 48 kilometers is equivalent to 4800000 centimeters:
48 kilometers = 4800000 centimeters
