A kilometer is $1\,000$ meters in length.
Centimeter
$\frac{1}{10^{2}}$ of a meter is a centimeter.
How to convert Kilometer to Centimeter
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = \text{Length}_{\text{km}} \cdot {10}^{5}$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $25.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{cm}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 25.0 \cdot {10}^{5}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 2500000$$
$$\therefore \ 25.0\ \text{km} = 2500000 \ \text{cm}$$
Example 2
Convert $75.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{cm}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 75.0 \cdot {10}^{5}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 7500000$$
$$\therefore \ 75.0\ \text{km} = 7500000 \ \text{cm}$$
Example 3
Convert $105.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{cm}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 105.0 \cdot {10}^{5}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 10500000$$
$$\therefore \ 105.0\ \text{km} = 10500000 \ \text{cm}$$
Example 4
Convert $140.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{cm}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 140.0 \cdot {10}^{5}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 14000000$$
$$\therefore \ 140.0\ \text{km} = 14000000 \ \text{cm}$$
Example 5
Convert $185.0\ \text{km}$ to $\text{cm}$.
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 185.0 \cdot {10}^{5}$$
$$\text{Length}_{\text{cm}} = 18500000$$
$$\therefore \ 185.0\ \text{km} = 18500000 \ \text{cm}$$
