How to convert nanometres to centimetres
cm = nm × 1 × 10^-7
Multiply the number of nanometres by 1 × 10^-7 to get centimetres. Going the other way, divide by 1 × 10^-7 (or multiply by 10000000).
One nanometre is exactly defined as 1 × 10^-7 centimetres (to 12 significant figures), and one centimetre is 10000000 nanometres.
Worked examples
- Convert 5 nanometres: 5 × 1 × 10^-7 = 5e-7 5e-7 centimetres.
- Convert 12.5 nanometres: 12.5 × 1 × 10^-7 = 0.00000125 0.00000125 centimetres.
- Convert 250 nanometres: 250 × 1 × 10^-7 = 0.000025 0.000025 centimetres.
