Centimeters to Meters (cm to m) Converter

Centimeters to Meters

Converting centimeters to meters is essential for interior design, furniture shopping, and home improvement. Furniture often comes with cm dimensions, while room layouts and floor plans are usually drawn in meters — this converter keeps the two in sync.

One meter equals 100 cm. To convert, divide centimeters by 100 (or move the decimal point two places left): 150 cm = 1.5 m.
