Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 30000000000: 3 × 30000000000 ≈ 90,000,000,000 cm2, against the exact 77,699,643,310.08 cm2 (15.8% 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 square mile is bigger than a square centimeter, so the number of square centimeters must come out larger than the number of square miles. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
