How many nanometers (nm) are in a centimeter (cm)? What is the formula for how to convert nanometers to centimeters (nm to cm)?

1 nanometer (nm) = 0.0000001 centimeter (cm)
So we can say that there is 0.0000001 centimeter in 1 nanometer.
This means that the multiplication conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in a nanometer unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a centimeter unit of measurement is 0.0000001.

Inversely (or reciprocally),

1 centimeter (cm) = 10,000,000 nanometers (nm)
So we can say that there are 10,000,000 nanometers in 1 centimeter.
This means that the division conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in a nanometer unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a centimeter unit of measurement is 10,000,000.

Knowing this inverse mathematical relationship between the two conversion factors and their reciprocal operations, we can derive two formulas to calculate and convert a quantity of length expressed in nanometers to an equivalent quantity of length expressed in centimeters (nm to cm). Both formulas will yield the same result. The formulas are:

cm = nm × 0.0000001    → This is the formula based on the multiplication conversion factor.

and

cm = nm ÷ 10,000,000    → This is the formula based on the division conversion factor.

For example, if you have a length of 75 nanometers that you want to convert to centimeters, you would use either of the two formulas as follows:

cm = 75 nm × 0.0000001 = 0.0000075 cm

cm = 75 nm ÷ 10,000,000 = 0.0000075 cm

So, the result is the same using either formula, which is 0.0000075 centimeters.

What is a nanometer (nm)?

Definition of nanometer: A nanometer is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one billionth of a meter (10^-9 m). It is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic scale, such as wavelengths of light, and in nanotechnologies.

The abbreviation for nanometer is nm. The single Unicode character ㎚ (U+339A) represents the 2-character Latin abbreviation for nanometer. The Windows Alt code for this character ㎚ is Alt + 13210.

What is a centimeter (cm)?

Definition of centimeter: A centimeter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), commonly known as the metric system. It is equal to one hundredth of a meter (10^-2 m). It is often used for everyday measurements involving shorter distances than meters, such as human height.

The abbreviation for centimeter is cm. The single Unicode character ㎝ (U+339D) represents the 2-character Latin abbreviation for centimeter. The Windows Alt code for this character ㎝ is Alt + 13213.
