Convert Kilometers to Centimeters

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

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

Going the other way? Convert cm to km.
