Centi means 100. When we multiply by 100, we move the decimal right 2 places.
8.6 x 100 = 860 centimeters

In other words there are 100 centimeters in a meter.

When you convert from meters to centimeters, you always multiply by 100, which means that 1 meter = 1 * 100 cm = 100 cm So, 8.6 meters = 8.6 * 100 cm = 860 cm03/19/20
