How to convert centimeters to kilometers

Feet, inches, yards and miles use the international foot (0.3048 m). Older US survey-foot records use a different definition; check the survey document before applying these factors.

Formula
km = cm × 0.00001

One centimeter is 0.00001 kilometers, so a single multiplication converts any value.

Example
0.0001 km = 10 × 0.00001

Sources and precision

Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
