The formulas for conversion are represented below:
cm = km x 100000
Example: 100 kilometers in centimeters:
cm = km x 100000
cm = 100 x 100000
cm = 10000000
km = cm / 100000
Example: 100 centimeters in kilometers:
km = cm / 100000
km = 100 / 100000
km = 0.001
Considering that 1 kilometer is equivalent to 100000 centimeters, you can use a rule of three to obtain that 1.5 km equals 580000 centimeters.
1 km - 100000 cm
5,8 km - x
Apply the rule of three and get:
x km = 580000 ckm2
x = 580000 cm
If every 100000 centimeters we have 1 kilometer, just divide 100000 by the number of centimeters (8), so you will get that 8 cm equals 0.00008 km. Observe the calculation below:
km = cm / 100000
Km = 8 / 100000
km = 0,00008
