How to Convert Square Kilometers to Square Centimeters

To convert a measurement in square kilometers to a measurement in square centimeters, multiply the area by the following conversion ratio: 10,000,000,000 square centimeters/square kilometer.

Since one square kilometer is equal to 10,000,000,000 square centimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

square centimeters = square kilometers × 10,000,000,000

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

For example, here's how to convert 5 square kilometers to square centimeters using the formula above.

square centimeters = (5 sq km × 10,000,000,000) = 50,000,000,000 sq cm
