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 49.7 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 49.7 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

49.7 m → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 49.7 m × 100 cm

L_(cm) = 4970 cm

The final result is:

49.7 m → 4970 cm

We conclude that 49.7 meters is equivalent to 4970 centimeters:

49.7 meters = 4970 centimeters
