What is the formula to convert from centimeter to micrometers?
micrometer=cm / 10
Examples
Convert 5 centimeter to Micrometers
5 cm = (5 / 10000) = 50,000µm
Convert 10 centimeter to Micrometers
10 cm = (10 / 10000) = 100,000 µm
Convert 100 centimeter to Micrometers
100 cm = (100 / 10000) = 1,000,000µm
