square kilometers = square centimeters ÷ 10,000,000,000

The area in square kilometers is equal to the square centimeters divided by 10,000,000,000.

For example, here's how to convert 500,000 square centimeters to square kilometers using the formula above.
500,000 sq cm = (500,000 ÷ 10,000,000,000) = 5.0E-5 sq km
