Converting the other way: square centimeters to square kilometers
square kilometers = square centimeters × 1e-10. So 300,000,000,000 square centimeters is back to 30 square kilometers; one square centimeter is 1e-10 square kilometers. See the square centimeters to square kilometers table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 10000000000: 30 × 10000000000 ≈ 300,000,000,000 cm2, against the exact 300,000,000,000 cm2 (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 square kilometer is bigger than a square centimeter, so the number of square centimeters must come out larger than the number of square kilometers. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
