This is a table that shows how to convert distances:

  • Kilometer (km)
  • Hectometer (hm)
  • Decameter (dam)
  • Meter (m)
  • Decimeter (dm)
  • Centimeter (cm)
  • Mellimeter (mm)

As you go down the list you multiply by 10 each step!

So 1 kilometer is 10 Hectometers. 10 Hectometers are 100 Decameters.

0.5 Hectometers are 5 Decameters or 50 Meters.

Now as you go from bottom towards the top you DIVIDE by 10 each step.

So 100 Millimeters are 10 centimeters or 1 decimeter or 0.1 Meter.

Hence, 86000 cm are 0.86 km.

86000 divided by 100000!
