The formulas for conversion are represented below:
µm = cm * 10000
Example: 30 Centimeters in Micrometers:
µm = cm * 10000
µm = 30 * 10000
µm = 300.000
cm = µm / 10000
Example: 1 Micrometer in Centimeters:
cm = µm / 10000
cm = 1 / 10000
cm = 0,0001
Considering that 1 Centimeter is equivalent to 10000 Micrometers, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 100 Centimeters equal 1000000 Micrometers.
1 cm - 10000 µm
100 cm - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x cm = 1000000 µmcm
x = 1.000.000 µm
If every 1 Micrometers we have 0.0001 Centimeters, just multiply the number of Micrometers (100) by 1000, so you will obtain that 100 µm equals 0.01 cm. Observe the calculation below:
cm = µm / 10000
cm = 100 / 10000
cm = 0,01
