Millimeters are smaller so if a measurement is given in mm it is likely to be more accurate than a measurement given in cm. However, it's important to note that neither mm nor cm is inherently more accurate.

Divide it by 106 (or 1 million).
The effect of multiplying a given measurement by one or more conversion factors the value may be changed.
1.6002 meters you divide any number given in centimeters by 100 to get the number for meters
You're given side AB with a length of 6 centimeters and side BC with a length of 5 centimeters. The measure of angle A is 30°. How many triangles can you construct using these measurements?
Millimeters are fractions of a meter. There are 1000 mm in 1m. The easiest way to find the number of meters in a given quantity of millimeters is to divide by 1000. Since square measures are made by multiplying lengths and widths, 1 square meter (1mx1m) is equal to 1,000,000 square millimeters (1000mmx1000mm.) To find a number of square meters in an area of square millimeters, you can divide the given area by 1million. For example: A square with sides measuring 123mm has an area of 15129mm^2. Dividing that number by 1million converts it to 0.015129m^2
