About this conversion
The centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for clothing and shoe sizes and human height and body measurements. The meter (m) belongs to the metric (SI) and is typically found in measurements related to room and building dimensions and swimming pool lengths. By definition, one centimeter is one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m). One meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units, defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. The conversion factor between these two units is 0.01: multiplying any value in cm by this number gives the equivalent in m. For example, 10 cm equals 0.1000 m. Going the other direction, 1 m equals 100 cm. The centimeter has been part of the metric system since its adoption in France in the late 18th century. The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.
