To convert 740 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 740 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

740 cm → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 740 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 7.4 m

The final result is:

740 cm → 7.4 m

We conclude that 740 centimeters is equivalent to 7.4 meters:

740 centimeters = 7.4 meters
