Centimeters converter bases on a logic that is applicable to decimal system. By converting a larger unit to a smaller one, we multiply by 10, 100, 1000, respectively. By converting a ton into kilograms we multiply by 1000. We multiply kilograms into decagrams by 100. The same formula is applied to centimeter, meter and kilometr units. Number 10 or multiple is a conversion factor for other values.
