Well, what do we mean by $"cm"$ ?

The prefix $"c "-=" centi"$ , i.e. $10^-2$ ...

And thus $1*cm-=1xx10^-2xxm-=0.01*m$ ...i.e. a 100th of a metre.

And likewise...the prefix $"m "-=" milli"$ , i.e. $10^-3$ ...

$1*mm-=1xx10^-3xxm-=0.001*m$ ...i.e. a 1000th of a metre.

And so $100*cm-=100xx10^-2*m=10^2xx10^-2*m=1*m$ precisely...

Got all that...?

1 metre

There are 100 cm in a metre.

To convert $cm->m$ divide by 100

To convert $m->cm$ multiply by 100

We have 100 cm so divide by 100 and this is 1 metre
