Conversion Formula:
To convert kilometers to centimeters, you multiply the kilometer value by 100,000. Therefore, the formula is:
Length (cm) = Length (km) × 100,000
Example Conversion:
Let’s convert 138.2 kilometers to centimeters:
138.2 km × 100,000 = 13,820,000 cm
So, 138.2 kilometers is equal to 13,820,000 centimeters.
