Conversion formula

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 6240 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 6240 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

6240 m → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 6240 m × 100 cm

L_(cm) = 624000 cm

The final result is:

6240 m → 624000 cm

We conclude that 6240 meters is equivalent to 624000 centimeters:

6240 meters = 624000 centimeters
