Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to meters is 0.01, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters:

1 cm = 0.01 m

To convert 640 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 640 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

640 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 640 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 6.4 m

The final result is:

640 cm → 6.4 m

We conclude that 640 centimeters is equivalent to 6.4 meters:

640 centimeters = 6.4 meters
