One meter is defined as equal to 100 centimeters based on the metric system's decimal-based structure. The prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, so 1 centimeter is 1/100th of a meter. Therefore, when you multiply 1 meter by 100, you get 100 centimeters. This relationship makes it easy to convert between meters and centimeters by simply multiplying or dividing by 100.
