Cm to Km Calculator

What are Centimeters?

Like other units of length, a centimeter is also a smaller unit of length that is mainly used while measuring the lengths of small objects, lines on paper, and a few others. It is not used for measuring the length of a long path because of its small nature. To show a measurement in Centimeters, we have to put “cm” just on the right side of the number.

The base of this particular unit is the basic SI unit called the Meter. That’s why we can also define a centimeter in terms of meters. “A centimeter is the 100th part of a meter i.e. 1/100 meter”. If one meter is divided into 100 parts, every part will be called a centimeter.

1 meter = 100 centimeters 						

What are Kilometers?

Another common unit, based on the meter, is a Kilometer. It is a bigger unit of a meter that is used particularly to measure the distance between two far points. For example, it is used to measure the distance between two cities of a state. To show a quantity in terms of Kilometers, we put “km” just beside the number showing the measurement.

As mentioned earlier, it is a bigger unit of a meter which means a specific number of meters will combine to make a kilometer. So, we can define it as “A kilometer consists of 1000 meters which means that 1000 meters will combine to make a kilometer”. That’s why it is used to measure long distances or lengths between two objects, places, and points.

1 kilometer = 1000 meters 						

How to calculate the Centimeters to Kilometers?

To learn the method to calculate the centimeters to kilometers, you need to first understand how many centimeters will combine to make a kilometer. With the above discussion, you know the conversion of centimeters and kilometers to meters only. So, let us show you here what is the relationship between centimeters to kilometers.

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters 

Now, you can easily understand how to convert a kilometer to a centimeter and vice versa. For your understanding, let us share an example of this conversion here.

Example 1:

Convert 5 kilometers to centimeters.

Solution:

As we know,

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters

So,

5 kilometers = 5 x 100000 centimeters

= 500000 cm	

Example 2:

Convert 550000 centimeters to kilometers.

Solution:

As we know,

 kilometer = 100000 centimeters

So,

1 centimeter = 1/100000 kilometers

Similarly,

550000 cm = 550000/100000 k	

 = 5.5 km
