The 'cm' is much smaller than the 'm', so any length or distance you'reworking with must have more 'cm' in it than it has 'm' .Since you expect a larger number, that should tell you to multiply the 'm'in order to get 'cm'.
There are 100 cm in 1m. 1cm = 1/100m = 0.01m 4cm = 4/100m = 0.04m If you start dealing with area then things change abit as 1m^2 = 1m*1m = 100cm * 100cm = 10000 cm to go from: cm -> m divide by 100 m -> cm multiply by 100 cm^2 -> m^2 divide by 10000 m^2 -> cm^2 multiply by 10000 cm^3 -> m^3 divide by 1000000 m^3 -> cm^3 multiply by 1000000
If you want to convert from m to cm, you need to multiply by 100. (To convert the other way, you divide by 100.)
You multiply times 100 because 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.

If you want to convert from m to cm, you need to multiply by 100. (To convert the other way, you divide by 100.)
one cm is 1/100th of a meter. if you have a length in cm then multiply it by 10^-2 to get the length in m. if you have the length in meters then multiply it by 10^2 to get the length in cm
You multiply times 100 because 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
There are 100cm in a metre, 0.01m in a centimetre. Conversion. from cm to m is divide by 100. m to cm is multiply by 100
To convert m to cm multiply by 100; and To convert cm to m divide by 100. The centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100) → 1 cm = 1/100 m → 100 cm = 100 × 1/100 m = 1 m → 1 m = 100 cm

To convert centimeters (cm) to meters (m), you can divide the length in centimeters by 100. This is because there are 100 centimeters in a meter. So the formula is: meters = centimeters / 100.
Since squared centimeters is cm^2 then instead of converting it normally from centimeters to meters you would multiply it by 2.
