About this conversion

The nanometer (nm) is a unit of length in the metric (SI), commonly used for visible light wavelengths (400–700 nm) and chip transistor node sizes. The centimeter (cm) belongs to the metric (SI) and is typically found in measurements related to clothing and shoe sizes and human height and body measurements. By definition, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10⁻⁹ m). One centimeter is one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m). The conversion factor between these two units is 1.0000000000000001e-7: multiplying any value in nm by this number gives the equivalent in cm. For example, 10 nm equals 0.0000 cm. Going the other direction, 1 cm equals 10000000 nm. The centimeter has been part of the metric system since its adoption in France in the late 18th century.
