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 285 meters into centimeters we have to multiply 285 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
285 m → L(cm)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in centimeters:
L(cm) = 285 m × 100 cm
L(cm) = 28500 cm
The final result is:
285 m → 28500 cm
We conclude that 285 meters is equivalent to 28500 centimeters:
285 meters = 28500 centimeters
