How to convert metres to hectometres
hm = m × 0.01
Example: 5 m × 0.01 = 0.05 hm

About these units
Meters (m): The metre is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Hectometers (hm): A hectometre is 100 metres. It is rarely used on its own but is the basis of the hectare (1 hm × 1 hm).
Frequently asked questions
How many hectometres are in 1 metre?
1 metre equals 0.01 hectometres (hm).
How do I convert m to hm?
Multiply the value in metres by 0.01. For example, 5 m × 0.01 = 0.05 hm.
How do I convert hectometres back to metres?
Multiply by 100 (or divide by 0.01). 1 hm = 100 m.
What is a metre?
The metre is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Conversion factors come from exact international definitions (NIST SP 811, BIPM) where they exist. Results show up to 10 significant digits. Need every length unit at once? Use the Length Converter.
