## How the conversion works

The relationship is cm = km × 100,000. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

## Common questions

### How many centimeters are in one kilometer?

One kilometer equals 100,000 centimeters. cm = km × 100,000.

### How do you convert kilometers to centimeters?

Use cm = km × 100,000. So 10 km is 1,000,000 cm.

### How many kilometers are in one centimeter?

One centimeter equals 0.00001 kilometers, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
