How to convert cm to meters
The prefix centi means one hundredth, so one centimeter is exactly 0.01 meters. Divide the number of centimeters by 100. In reverse, multiply meters by 100: 1.75 m × 100 = 175 cm.
Use this for lengths such as product dimensions, fabric, height, or room measurements. Enter each dimension separately. A value such as 100 × 200 cm is not a single length; the batch tool can convert each line without treating the two dimensions as an area.
The same rule applies to British spellings centimetres and metres. The symbols remain cm and m. This tool does not convert cm² or cm³; their area and volume factors are different.

Rounding, pasted units, and batch copy
Choose the maximum number of decimal places for the result; unnecessary trailing zeros are removed. Calculations use browser floating-point arithmetic. A rounded display does not change the measurement's precision or uncertainty.
A unit suffix takes precedence over the direction selector. For example, 1.75 m always converts meters to centimeters. A bare number uses the selected direction. Batch mode follows the same rules on every line and blocks copying until all non-empty lines are valid.
Inputs are limited to an absolute magnitude of one trillion. Empty fields clear the dependent result; unfinished entries such as a lone minus sign or an incomplete exponent need to be completed before conversion.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert cm to meters?
Divide centimeters by 100. For example, 175 cm ÷ 100 = 1.75 m. The factor is exact; the displayed result may be rounded.
How many centimeters are in a meter?
There are exactly 100 centimeters in 1 meter. Multiply meters by 100 to convert in the reverse direction.
What is 150 cm in meters?
150 cm equals 1.5 m. Enter 150 or paste 150 cm into the input to copy the full conversion.
Can I convert a list of measurements?
Yes. Open Batch conversion and paste up to 100 non-empty lines. A unit suffix overrides the default direction on that line. Invalid lines block the entire batch copy.
Does this convert square centimeters to square meters?
No. This tool converts length only. Area uses a different factor: 10,000 square centimeters equal 1 square meter. Do not enter area measurements here.
