Conversion formula
How to convert 1000 meters to centimeters?

We know (by definition) that: 1 m = 100 cm.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of centimeters.

1 m / 1000 m = 100 cm / x cm

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

x cm = (1000 m / 1 m) * 100 cm → x cm = 100000 cm

Conclusion:

1000 m = 100000 cm

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 centimeter is equal to 1e-05 times 1000 meters.

It can also be expressed as: 1000 meters is equal to 1 / 1e-05 centimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one thousand meters is about one hundred thousand centimeters, or alternatively, a centimeter is about zero times one thousand meters.
