ToggleHow to change from inches to centimeters (and centimeters to inches) using formula
To convert inches to centimeters, you can use the following formula:
centimeters = inches x 2.54
Therefore, you multiply the measurement in inches by 2.54 to obtain the equivalent in centimeters.
For example, if you have 10 inches:
10 inches x 2.54 = 25.4 centimeters
So 10 inches equals 25.4 centimeters.
To convert centimeters to inches, you can use the following formula:
inches = centimeters / 2.54
Then, you divide the measurement in centimeters by 2.54 to get the equivalence in inches.
For example, if you are 20 centimeters:
20 centimeters / 2.54 = 7.874 inches
So 20 centimeters equals approximately 7.87 inches.

Practical example to convert inches to cm (and cm to inches)
Here are practical examples of converting in to cm, and cm to in:
From inches to centimeters
Let’s say you have a LiFePO4 lithium battery that measures 13 x 6.77 x 8.43 in (inches). To convert this to centimeters, you can use the formula:
centimeters = inches x 2.54
13 inches x 2.54 = 33.02 cm
6.77 inches x 2.54 = 17.19 cm
8.43 inches x 2.54 = 21.41 cm
Therefore, a battery measuring 13 x 6.77 x 8.43 inches has dimensions equivalent to 33.02 x 17.19 x 21.41 centimeters.
From centimeters to inches
Imagine that you have a Samsung television screen that measures 127 centimeters diagonally.
To convert this to inches, you can use the formula:
inches = centimeters / 2.54
127cm/2.54 = 50 inches
So a television screen that measures 127 centimeters diagonally is equivalent to 50 inches.
