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 72 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 72 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
72 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 72 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 7200 cm
The final result is:
72 m → 7200 cm
We conclude that 72 meters is equivalent to 7200 centimeters:
72 meters = 7200 centimeters
