Calculation:
Use this calculator to convert meters to centimeters. Enter a length in meters, with decimals if you need them, and you get the same length in centimeters and in millimeters. Since heights are often given in meters, you also see the length in feet and inches.
Below you will find the formula, worked examples and conversion tables, one of them with heights.
How to use the meters to centimeters calculator
Step 1: Type the length in meters in the box. You can use a decimal point or a comma, for example 1.75 or 1,75.
Step 2: Click Calculate or press the Enter key.
Step 3: The result in centimeters appears in the panel on the right. Below it you will see the same length in millimeters and in feet and inches.
Step 4: The Calculation box shows the operations with your numbers.
Formula to convert meters to centimeters
One meter is exactly 100 centimeters. So to go from meters to centimeters, multiply by 100:
| d(cm) = d(m) × 100 |
Multiplying by 100 is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right: 1.75 m becomes 175 cm. To convert meters to millimeters, multiply by 1000.
Meters to centimeters examples
Example 1: How many centimeters is 2 m?
d(cm) = 2 × 100 = 200 cm
Example 2: Convert 1.75 m to centimeters
d(cm) = 1.75 × 100 = 175 cm
In feet and inches, 1.75 m is 5 ft 8.9 in: we divide 175 cm by 2.54 to get 68.9 in, and then by 12.
Example 3: Convert 0.5 m to centimeters
d(cm) = 0.5 × 100 = 50 cm
Half a meter is fifty centimeters.
Example 4: Convert 3.6 m to centimeters and millimeters
d(cm) = 3.6 × 100 = 360 cm
d(mm) = 3.6 × 1000 = 3600 mm
