How to convert kilometers to centimeters

cm = km × 100,000

To convert kilometers to centimeters, multiply the number of kilometers by 100,000.

Example: 42 km to cm

  1. Start with the value in kilometers: 42 km.
  2. Multiply by 100,000: 42 × 100,000 = 4,200,000.
  3. Result: 42 kilometers = 4,200,000 centimeters.

Going the other way, 1 centimeter = 0.00001 kilometers, so to convert centimeters back to kilometers you divide by the same number. See centimeters to kilometers.
