Conversion formula
How to convert 1000 centimeters to meters?
We know (by definition) that: 1 cm = 0.01 m.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of meters.
1 cm / 1000 cm = 0.01 m / x m
Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:
x m = (1000 cm / 1 cm) * 0.01 m → x m = 10.0 m
Conclusion:
1000 cm = 10.0 m
Conversion in the opposite direction
The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 meter is equal to 0.1 times 1000 centimeters.
It can also be expressed as: 1000 centimeters is equal to 1 / 0.1 meters.
Approximation
An approximate numerical result would be: one thousand centimeters is about zero meters, or alternatively, a meter is about zero times one thousand centimeters.
