Converter Converter: Inches and Centimeters Using this converter you can convert centimeters into inches and inches into centimeters. The formula I am using to convert centimeters to inches is multiply the cm by.39. The formula I am using to convert inches to centimeters is multiply in by Enter the type of conversion: Centimeters to Inches Inches to Centimeters Enter the number to convert:
