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 52 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 52 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

52 m → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 52 m × 100 cm

L_(cm) = 5200 cm

The final result is:

52 m → 5200 cm

We conclude that 52 meters is equivalent to 5200 centimeters:

52 meters = 5200 centimeters
