This is a metric length converter that can help us to easily convert millimeters(mm) to centimeters(cm) or centimeters to millimeters, eg. 10 mm to cm, 15cm to mm or 4cm in mm.
Both centimeters and millimeters are derived from the meter, a measurement of distance used in the metric system. Millimeters and centimeters are separated by one tens place, which means that there are 10 millimeters for every centimeter.
A millimeter (abbreviated as mm and sometimes spelled as millimetre) is a small unit of displacement (length/distance) in the metric system. Millimeters are used to measure very small but visible-scale distances and lengths.
The metric system is based on decimals, there are 10mm in a centimeter and 1000mm in a meter. The base of the Greek-rooted words indicates that they are hundredths (centi) and thousandths (milli) of meters.
To convert mm to cm, divide the number of mm by 10 to get the number of cm.
Example : 35 mm = 35 ÷ 10 = 3.5 cm
To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10 , centimeters x 10 = millimeters.
Example : 40 cm = 40 x 10 = 400 mm
