How to convert miles to centimeters

Any physical quantity can be written as:

Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used

We know that:

1 mi = 160,934.4 cm

1 cm = 0.0000062137 mi

So, you can easily convert your quantity in miles to cm by simply multiply it by 160,934.4

Hence, general formula to convert miles to cm:

p(cm) = 160,934.4 × p(mi), where p is the numerical value

For example:

Convert 15 miles to cm

15 mi = 15 × 160,934.4 cm = 2414016 cm

About Mile (mi)

Name of unit: Mile

Abbreviation: mi

Unit system: Imperial System

Definition Mile is the unit of length used in both British Imperial (BI) and US Customary (USC) systems of measurements for measuring the larger distances .

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.
