→Converting to Centi
: A centimetre (cm) is 1/100th of a metre (m).
: A centilitre (cL) is 1/100th of a litre (L).
===Converting from Centi===
To convert from [[centi]] to the base unit you must divide by 100.
: <math>63000cm = \frac{63000}{100}m = 630m</math>
: <math>3500cm = \frac{3500}{100}m = 35m</math>
: <math>940cm = \frac{940}{100}m = 9.4m</math>
: <math>93cm = \frac{93}{100}m = 0.93m</math>
: <math>4cm = \frac{4}{100}m = 0.02m</math>
===Converting to Centi===
To convert to [[centi]] from a base unit you must times by 100.
: <math>7m = 7\times100cm = 700cm</math>
: <math>15m = 15 \times 100cm = 1500cm</math>
: <math>8.2m = 8.2\times100cm = 820cm</math>
: <math>0.26m = 0.26\times100cm = 260cm</math>
: <math>0.03m = 0.03\times100cm = 3cm</math>

===Meaning===
[[Centi]] is a [[Unit Prefix]] that means a number is 10<sup>-2</sup> times the normal [[unit]].
===About Centi===
: [[Centi]] can be shortened to a lower case c.
: [[Centi]] is rarely used with any [[unit]]s other than [[metre]]s.
===Examples===
: A centimetre (cm) is 10<sup>-2</sup> metres (m).
: A centilitre (cL) is 10<sup>2</sup> litres (L).
===Converting from Centi===
To convert from [[centi]] to the base unit you must times by 10<sup>-2</sup>.
: <math>63000cm = 63000 \times 10^{-2}m = 630m</math>
: <math>3500cm = 3500\times10^{-2}m = 35m</math>
: <math>940cm = 940\times10^{-2}m = 9.4m</math>
: <math>93cm = 93\times10^{-2}m = 0.93m</math>
: <math>4cm = 4\times10^{-2}m = 0.02m</math>
===Converting to Centi===
To convert to [[centi]] from a base unit you must times by 10<sup>2</sup> because there are 100 of them in the base unit.
: <math>7m = 7\times10^{2}cm = 700cm</math>
: <math>15m = 15\times10^{2}cm = 1500cm</math>
: <math>8.2m = 8.2\times10^{2}cm = 820cm</math>
: <math>0.26m = 0.26\times10^{2}cm = 260cm</math>
: <math>0.03m = 0.03\times10^{2}cm = 3cm</math>
