100 centimeters make up one meter

"Centi-" means one hundredth; a centimetre is one-hundredth of a metre. Thus, there are one hundred (100) centimetres in one metre.

Sneighke answered:

In the Metric system (SI system), there are standardized prefixes and suffixes.

cm means centimeter. "cent-i" the prefix, means 1/100. Thus, 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

There are many more prefixes, both less than 1 and greater than one. Some commonly used examples:

  • milli- = 1/1000 (m)
  • centi- = 1/100 (c)
  • deci- = 1/10 (d)
  • deca- = 10 (da)
  • hecto- = 100 (h)
  • kilo- = 1,000 (k)
  • mega = 1,000,000 (M)

100 ! The clue is in the name centimetre - 'cent' is a prefix meaning 100 - for example, a century is 100 years.

By unit of length and mass and conversion ,we can say that

1 m=100 cm
