1 centimeter (cm) = 10,000 micrometers (µm). To convert, multiply by 10,000: µm = cm × 10,000. For example, 5 cm = 50,000 µm.
µm = cm × 10,000

The two units
Centimeter (cm). One hundredth of a meter.
Micrometer (µm). One millionth of a meter, also called a micron.
Because both units are defined in terms of the same base unit, the factor 10,000 is exact, not a rounded measurement.
