Wondering how to convert hectometer to meter? I suggest you not hammer yourself over it because we have got you covered. In order to be accustomed to the conversion process of any unit, you must know the basics first such as what they are, their uses, relations they share with each other, and more.

Once you are acquainted with all such things, you can proceed on to the conversion process. All you need to remember is just a simple formula that will help you carry out the conversion process of 1 hectometer to meter. 

Many of you would be quite familiar with the meter while the unit, hectometer would be quite new for many. Obviously, we rarely use the latter one in everyday life measurement. Therefore, we will better start with the definition of the hectometer-

What is a Hectometer?

Hectometer is denoted by hm, and is referred to as the unit of length in the metric system. A hectometer is equal to one hundred meters. The term ‘hectometer’ is an amalgamation of the word ‘meter’ and the SI prefix “hecto-” which means hundred.

The unit hectometer isn’t a commonly used word in English. A soccer or football pitch has approximately the length of a hectometer. The hectare, which is a common unit of metric for land area, is equivalent to one square hectometer (hm2).

Even in the modern metric system, the hectometer is used rarely for measuring the length or distance of the land/path. So, the question is- where is the hectometer used?

A hectometer is usually used to gauge small distances or the dimensions of comparatively large objects such as large water reservoirs, large premises, small pool length, etc. Besides the linear measurement, a hectometer is also sometimes employed to measure a unit of volume. 

What is Meter?

Meter is such a unit that we have been studying since childhood. I assume everybody would be presumptuous about it. We all know that it’s an SI unit scientifically accepted as the base unit of measurement of distance and length. Meter is denoted by the symbol m. 

Currently, it is defined as the length of the path traversed by light in 1/299 792 458 of a second in a vacuum. However, if we talk about its earlier definition, the history of a meter goes back to 1793 where it meant one ten-millionth of the distance to the North Pole from the equator along a great circle. Therefore, the circumference of the Earth is approximately equal to 40000 km. 

In 1799, the unit was redefined in the context of a prototype meter bar. The meter was again defined in 1960 in the terms of a specified number of wavelengths of krypton-86’s certain emission line. The definition of meter that we use today was actually adopted in 1983 and was a bit modified in 2002 for a better clarification about the meter which is a measure of proper length. 

Conversion of Hectometer to Meter

The conversion process of hectometers to meters is quite simple. To convert the units, you need to know the relation between them. So, let’s find out-

1 Hectometer = 100 meter

1 meter = 1/100 hectometer or 0.01 meter

Now that we have discovered the relationship between the two, let us derive the formula for converting hectometer to meter:

Since 1 hectometer = 100 meter

Therefore, Hectometer to meter = (any number of hm) x 100 meters.

You can use this formula to convert any number of hectometers to meters in an instant.

In case you don’t want to make any such calculations effort, you can simply use Square Yards’s simple hectometer to meter calculator. Just enter the values you wanna convert and click on the Convert tab. You will get the result. 

Examples of Hectometer to Meter Conversion

To understand the conversion better, let us solve some examples on the same:

Example 1: Convert 2 Hectometer to Meter

Solution: Following the above formula, which is-

Hectometer to meter = any number of hm x 100 meters 

We can find 2 hectometers to meter as-

2 hectometer = 2 x 100 meters = 200 meters. 

Example 2: Convert 55 Hectometer to Meter

Solution: Following the same formula again,

55 Hectometer to meter = 55 x 100 meters = 5500 meters. 

Hence, 55 hectometers are equal to 5500 meters.

Example 3: Convert 77.87 Hectometer to Meter

Solution: 77.87 hectometer to meter = 77.87 x 100 meter = 7787 meters. 

Hence, 77.87 hectometers are equivalent to 7787 meters.
