convert Nanometer to centimeter

Conversion Formula

1 nm = 1.0E-7 cm

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Nanometer = 1.0E-9 meters
   1 Centimeter = 0.01 meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 nm = (1.0E-9 m) / (0.01 m/cm) = 1.0E-7 cm
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in nm by 1.0E-7 to get the equivalent in cm

Example Conversion

Convert 5 nm to cm:

5 nm × 1.0E-7 = 5.0E-7 cm
