How to convert centimeters to meters?

To convert centimeters to meters, you can use the following formula:
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)

To convert centimeters to meters, divide the number of centimeters by 100.
m = cm / 100

Here are some popular examples of cm to m:

• 10 cm = 10 / 100 = 0.1 m
• 50 cm = 50 / 100 = 0.5 m
• 100 cm = 100 / 100 = 1 m
• 150 cm = 150 / 100 = 1.5 m
• 200 cm = 200 / 100 = 2 m

Main conversions of a meter:

• 1 m = 100 cm (centimeters)
• 1 m = 1000 mm (millimeters)
• 1 m = 3.2808 ft (feet)
• 1 m = 1.0936 yd (yards)
• 1 m = 0.000621371 mi (miles)
