Nanometers to centimeters

1 nanometer in centimeters
1 nm = 1 × 10^-7 cm
cm = nm × 1 × 10^-7

To convert nanometers to centimeters, multiply by 1 × 10^-7. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works

The relationship is cm = nm × 1 × 10^-7. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many centimeters are in one nanometer?
One nanometer equals 1 × 10^-7 centimeters. cm = nm × 1 × 10^-7.
How do you convert nanometers to centimeters?
Use cm = nm × 1 × 10^-7. So 10 nm is 0.000001 cm.
How many nanometers are in one centimeter?
One centimeter equals 10,000,000 nanometers, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
