Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.01: 10,000 × 0.01 ≈ 100 m, against the exact 100 m (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A centimeter is smaller than a meter, so the number of meters must come out smaller than the number of centimeters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
