How to Convert Miles to Centimeters

To convert a measurement in miles to a measurement in centimeters, multiply the length by the following conversion ratio: 160,934.4 centimeters/mile.

Since one mile is equal to 160,934.4 centimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

centimeters = miles × 160,934.4

The length in centimeters is equal to the length in miles multiplied by 160,934.4.

For example, here's how to convert 5 miles to centimeters using the formula above.

centimeters = (5 mi × 160,934.4) = 804,672 cm

How Many Centimeters Are in a Mile?

There are 160,934.4 centimeters in a mile, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 mi = 160,934.4 cm

Our inch fraction calculator can add miles and centimeters together, and it also automatically converts the results to US customary, imperial, and SI metric values.

Miles and centimeters are both units used to measure length. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Centimeter?

One centimeter is equal to one-hundredth (1/100) of a meter, which is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. One centimeter is equal to 0.393701 inches.

The centimeter, or centimetre, is a multiple of the meter, which is the SI base unit for length. In the metric system, "centi" is the prefix for hundredths, or 10-2. Centimeters can be abbreviated as cm; for example, 1 centimeter can be written as 1 cm.

Metric rulers typically have 30 cm, which are represented by 30 large tick marks. To get a rough idea of the actual length of a centimeter, a standard number 2 pencil is just about 1 cm thick.
