Converting the other way: centimeters to meters

meters = centimeters × 0.01. So 700 centimeters is back to 7 meters; one centimeter is 0.01 meters. See the centimeters to meters table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 100: 7 × 100 ≈ 700 cm, against the exact 700 cm (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 meter is bigger than a centimeter, so the number of centimeters must come out larger than the number of meters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
