To calculate a centimeter value to the corresponding value in meters, just multiply the quantity in centimeters by 0.01 (the conversion factor).
meters = centimeters * 0.01
The factor 0.01 is the result from the division 1 / 100 (meter definition). Therefore, another way would be:
meters = centimeters / 100
