How the conversion works
Multiply by 100 to go from meter to centimeter, or divide by it to go back. Every conversion on this site routes through the SI value (m) rather than a table of pairwise factors, so a round-trip returns exactly what you started with.
Going the other way? centimeter to meter: 1 cm = 0.01 m.
