Centimeters to Micrometers

Convert centimeters (cm) to micrometers (μm) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Centimeters (cm)

Micrometers (μm)

μm

1 cm = 10000 μm

Full precision:10000 μm

Feet + Inches:1' 3.5"

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 centimeters to micrometers, we multiply by 10000 because one centimeter equals exactly 10000 micrometers.

1 centimeter = 10000 micrometers

Since each centimeter contains 10000 micrometers, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 10000 = 10000 micrometers

So 1 centimeters = 10000 micrometers.

✓Quick check: 10000 ÷ 10000 = 1 centimeters

How to Convert Centimeters to Micrometers

To convert centimeters to micrometers, multiply the value by 10000.

Micrometers = Centimeters × 10000

1 centimeter = 10000 micrometers

Tip: To convert micrometers back to centimeters, divide by 10000.

Example 1: 1 cm = 10000 μm
1 × 10000 = 10000

Example 2: 5 cm = 50000 μm
5 × 10000 = 50000

Example 3: 10 cm = 100000 μm
10 × 10000 = 100000
