Square Meters to Square Centimeters (m² to cm²) Converter

1 square meter (m²) = 10,000 square centimeters (cm²). To convert square meters to square centimeters, multiply by 10,000: 80 m² × 10,000 = 800,000 cm². Also searched as square metres to square centimetres.

1 m² = 10000 cm²

Quick facts

How to convert square meters to square centimeters

  1. Take the value in square meters.
  2. Multiply it by 10,000 (the number of square centimeters in one square meter).
  3. Round the result to the precision you need.
cm² = m² × 10,000

Worked example (a two-bedroom flat): 80 m² × 10,000 = 800000 cm².

To convert square centimeters back to square meters, multiply by 0.0001, or divide by 10,000.
