The beauty of the metric system is its simplicity. In the outdated English system one must memorize things like 12 inches to a foot and 5280 feet to a mile.
In the metric system, cent means one hundred and kilo means one thouisand.
So a centimeter is one hundredth of a meter (there are 100 centimeters in a meter)
There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.
So 100 cm/m x 1000 m/km = 100, 000 centimeters in a kilometer.
