Kilometers to Centimeters

Convert kilometers (km) to centimeters (cm) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.

Kilometers (km)

Centimeters (cm)

1 km = 100000 cm

Full precision:100000 cm

Feet + Inches:129166' 11.1"

Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 kilometers to centimeters, we multiply by 100000 because one kilometer equals exactly 100000 centimeters.

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters

Since each kilometer contains 100000 centimeters, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 100000 = 100000 centimeters

So 1 kilometers = 100000 centimeters.

✓Quick check: 100000 ÷ 100000 = 1 kilometers

How to Convert Kilometers to Centimeters

To convert kilometers to centimeters, multiply the value by 100000.

Centimeters = Kilometers × 100000

1 kilometer = 100000 centimeters

Tip: To convert centimeters back to kilometers, divide by 100000.

Example 1: 1 km = 100000 cm
1 × 100000 = 100000

Example 2: 5 km = 500000 cm
5 × 100000 = 500000

Example 3: 10 km = 1000000 cm
10 × 100000 = 1000000
