How do you convert GSM in paper to centimeters?

Answer:

You cannot convert GSM to cm since the first is a measure of planar density, with dimension [ML-2], whereas a centimetre is a linear measure with dimension [L].

However, you can turn GSM into grams per square centimetre if you divide by 10000.
