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

Explanation:

The prefix $c \equiv centi$ $"c "-=" centi"$ , i.e. $10^{- 2}$ $10^-2$ ...

And thus $1 \cdot c m \equiv 1 \times 10^{- 2} \times m \equiv 0.01 \cdot m$ $1*cm-=1xx10^-2xxm-=0.01*m$ ...i.e. a 100th of a metre.

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

$1 \cdot m m \equiv 1 \times 10^{- 3} \times m \equiv 0.001 \cdot m$ $1*mm-=1xx10^-3xxm-=0.001*m$ ...i.e. a 1000th of a metre.

And so $100 \cdot c m \equiv 100 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot m = 10^{2} \times 10^{- 2} \cdot m = 1 \cdot m$ $100*cm-=100xx10^-2*m=10^2xx10^-2*m=1*m$ precisely...

Got all that...?

1 metre

Explanation:

There are 100 cm in a metre.

To convert $c m \to m$ $cm->m$ divide by 100

To convert $m \to c m$ $m->cm$ multiply by 100

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