Both meters and the centimeters are metric units of length with centimeter being equal to one hundredth of a meter.
A centimeter is abbreviated as cm while a meter is abbreviated as m.
Formula to convert centimeters to meters.
Since we already know that a centimeter is equal to one hundredth of a meter, this means that 100 cm are equivalent to 1m.
Therefore, when converting cm to m, we divide the cm by 100.
Length in M = Length in cm ÷ 100
Example:
Convert 150cm to m.
= 150 ÷ 100
= 1.5m
