How to convert hectometres to metres
m = hm × 100
Example: 5 hm × 100 = 500 m

About these units
Hectometers (hm): A hectometre is 100 metres. It is rarely used on its own but is the basis of the hectare (1 hm × 1 hm).
Meters (m): The metre is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Frequently asked questions
How many metres are in 1 hectometre?
1 hectometre (hm) equals 100 metres.
How do I convert hm to m?
Multiply the value in hectometres by 100. For example, 5 hm × 100 = 500 m.
How do I convert metres back to hectometres?
Multiply by 0.01 (or divide by 100). 1 m = 0.01 hm.
What is a hectometre?
A hectometre is 100 metres. It is rarely used on its own but is the basis of the hectare (1 hm × 1 hm).
Conversion factors come from exact international definitions (NIST SP 811, BIPM) where they exist. Results show up to 10 significant digits. Need every length unit at once? Use the Length Converter.
