Converting from Centi (c) to Nano (n) | SI prefixes

What is Centi (c)

Centi, abbreviated as "c," is a metric prefix representing one hundredth of a base unit. In the International System of Units (SI), it is commonly used to measure quantities such as length, mass, and volume. For example, 1 centimeter (cm) is equal to 0.01 meters.

What is Nano (n)

Nano, denoted as "n," is another metric prefix in the SI system, signifying one billionth of a base unit. It is typically employed in scientific and technological fields to quantify extremely small measurements. For instance, 1 nanometer (nm) equals 0.000000001 meters.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from centi to nano and vice versa, you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from centi to nano:

n=c×10000000

• To convert from nano to centi:

c=n×0.0000001

Examples

1. Converting 7 centi to nano:

7(c)=7×10000000=70000000(n)

2. Converting 6 nano to centi:

6(n)=6×0.0000001=0.0000006(c)

3. Switching from 14 centi to nano:

14(c)=14×10000000=140000000(n)

4. Moving from 7 nano to centi:

7(n)=7×0.0000001=0.0000007(c)
