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 millimeter (mm) belongs to the metric (SI) and is typically found in measurements related to engineering and manufacturing tolerances and bolt and screw dimensions. By definition, one centimeter is one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m). One millimeter is one thousandth of a meter (0.001 m). The conversion factor between these two units is 10: multiplying any value in cm by this number gives the equivalent in mm. For example, 10 cm equals 100.0000 mm. Going the other direction, 1 mm equals 0.1 cm. The centimeter has been part of the metric system since its adoption in France in the late 18th century.
