Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 200: 300 × 200 ≈ 60,000 cm, against the exact 54,864 cm (9.4% 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 fathom is bigger than a centimeter, so the number of centimeters must come out larger than the number of fathoms. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
