Strange how you can easily work out the former, but the latter could be anything from 28 to 56285794

Km is 10^3m cm is 10^-2m so the difference is 10^5 i.e. 100000 (one with 5 zeroes)
Or more intuitively one centi-meter is a 1/100 of a meter and Kilo-Meter is 1000 meter therefore 100*1000 100000
It is quite intuitive, once you start using it
What’s weird is why we don’t use Megameters and megagrams (i.e. one metric ton)

How many liters is 1 square meter of 1mm thick steel?
I’m definitely on board for megameters. One AU is about 150 gigameters and 1 light year is about 9.5 terameter!

1*10^-3 m^3 = 1 dm^3(AKA liter)
