Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to kilometers is 1.0E-5, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 1.0E-5 kilometers:

1 cm = 1.0E-5 km

To convert 800 centimeters into kilometers we have to multiply 800 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to kilometers. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 1.0E-5 km

800 cm → L_(km)

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

L_(km) = 800 cm × 1.0E-5 km

L_(km) = 0.008 km

The final result is:

800 cm → 0.008 km

We conclude that 800 centimeters is equivalent to 0.008 kilometers:

800 centimeters = 0.008 kilometers

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer is equal to 125 × 800 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 800 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 125 kilometers.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred centimeters is approximately zero point zero zero eight kilometers:

800 cm ≅ 0.008 km

An alternative is also that one kilometer is approximately one hundred twenty-five times eight hundred centimeters.
