How to convert cm to kilometers?
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n = numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 cm = 0.00001 km
1 km = 100000 cm
So, You can easily convert your quantity in cm to km by simply multiply it by 0.00001
Hence, general formula to convert cm to km:
p(km) = 0.00001 × p(cm), where p is the numerical value
For Example:
To convert 100 cm to km:
100 cm = 100 × 0.00001 km = 0.001 km

Centimetre (cm)
Name of unit: centimetre
Abbreviation: cm
Unit system: Centi-Gram-Second (CGS)
Definition: Cm ( centimetre ) is the metric unit of length widely used internationally to measure the length of objects or distances in everyday life. In SI units, the fundamental unit of length is the metre and 'centi' refers to the prefix of the metre which is equal to 0.01 (1 cm = 0.01 m). Thus , we can say that a centimetre is one hundreth of a metre. While cm is used in both SI (International System of Units) and CGS (Centi-Gram-Second) units of length , it is not officially recognized as part of the SI system of units.
Uses: centimetres are used in everyday life for measuring distances , heights of various objects and by professionals in fields like science, mathematics, architecture and construction for accurate measurements.
Countries that use CM: All other countries around the world, except the US, Liberia and Myanmar uses the metric system.
About Kilometer (km)
Name of unit: Kilometre
Abbreviation: km
Unit system: metric system
Definition: Kilometre is the metric unit of length used to measure the length of very large objects or distances. In SI units, the fundamental unit of length is the metre and 'kilo' is the Greek word refers to the prefix of the metre which is equal to thousand i.e 1000 ( 1 Km = 1000m ).
Uses: Kilometre is the larger unit of length is used to measure the lenght of roads , height of big buildings etc. It is also used in various fields like physics, chemistry , medicines, mathematics etc for large measurements.
Countries that use km: Kilometre is the metric unit of length, so it is used by all other countries around the world except the US, Liberia and Myanmar.
