Since we are converting meters to centimeters we are converting large to small.

Expect the answer to be a larger number.  Here are some example of large to small:
2 weeks (larger unit) = 14 days (smaller unit)   14 is larger than 2
4 days (larger unit )  = 96 hours (smaller unit)  96 is larger than 4
Since there are 100cm in a meter, when we change meters to cm, we need a bigger number.  The conversion factor is 100 and should be used as a multiplier.
Example:  47m x 100 = 4700 cm
