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 738 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 738 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

738 m → L_(cm)

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

L_(cm) = 738 m × 100 cm

L_(cm) = 73800 cm

The final result is:

738 m → 73800 cm

We conclude that 738 meters is equivalent to 73800 centimeters:

738 meters = 73800 centimeters
