Do you mean how do you convert inches into centimetres? If so then 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

The inch is a length unit in the English Imperial system and must be avoided in science, technology, trading.

The length unit in SI is the metre (with the symbol m). 1 m = 36,36996 inches.

A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. An inch is a measure of distance. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
