How do you calculate conversion length?

Generally, to convert from one unit of length to another, you need to:

1. Find the conversion factor between the two units.
2. Multiply the value in the original unit by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in the new unit.

• For example, to convert meters to centimeters, the conversion factor is 100, because there are 100 centimeters in one meter. To convert centimeters to millimeters, the conversion factor is 10, because there are 10 millimeters in one centimeter.

• To perform the actual calculation, you simply need to multiply the value in the original unit by the conversion factor. For example, to convert 2 meters to centimeters, you would multiply 2 by 100, like this:

2 meters x 100 = 200 centimeters

• Similarly, to convert 50 centimeters to millimeters, you would multiply 50 by 10, like this:

50 centimeters x 10 = 500 millimeters
