Conversion formula
How to convert 500 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 / 500 cm = 0.01 m / x m

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x m = (500 cm / 1 cm) * 0.01 m → x m = 5.0 m

Conclusion:

500 cm = 5.0 m

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 meter is equal to 0.2 times 500 centimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 500 centimeters is equal to 1 / 0.2 meters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: five hundred centimeters is about zero meters, or alternatively, a meter is about zero times five hundred centimeters.
