10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)

10 centimeters = 1 decimeter (dm) = 100 millimeters


100 centimeter = 1 meter (m) = 1,000 millimeters
1000 meters = 1 kilometer (km)
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter
1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters
1,000 milliliters = 1 liter (L)
1000 liters = 1 kiloliter (km)
1,000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram
10 centigrams = 100 milligrams (mg)
1 gram (g) = 1,000 milligrams
1,000 grams = 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000,000 mg
1,000 kilograms = 1,000,000 grams
