Convert Centimeters to Kilometers

Centimeters → Kilometers
cm × 0.00001 = km km × 100000 = cm

To convert centimeters (cm) to kilometers (km), multiply the centimeters value by 0.00001. 1 cm = 0.00001 km, and 1 km = 100000 cm. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert km to cm.
