A centimeter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), the current form of the metric system. It is defined as $\frac{1}{100}$ meters. It is denoted as $cm.$

To convert centimeter to meter, we do the following

Divide the number of cm by $100$ to get the number of meters.

$1cm=\frac{1}{100}m$

To convert $500cm$ to meters we will divide $500$ by $100$
