Definitions:

Kilometer (abbreviation: km): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one thousand metres (kilo- being the prefix for 1000). It is now the measurement unit used officially for expressing distances between geographical places on land in most of the world countries.

Centimeter (abbreviation: cm): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the prefix for a factor of 1/100. The centimetre was the base unit of length in the now deprecated centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units.


How to Convert Kilometers to Centimeters

Example: How many centimeters are equivalent to 13.41 kilometers?


As;

1 kilometers = 100000 centimeters

13.41 kilometers = Y centimeters

Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;

Y equals 13.41 times 100000 over 1

(i.e.) Y = 13.41 * 100000 / 1 = 1341000 centimeters

Answer is: 1341000 centimeters are equivalent to 13.41 kilometers.
