Convert centi to tera

Learn how to convert 1 centi to tera step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c e n t i) = x (t e r a)

Define the prefix value(s)

T h e v a l u e o f c e n t i i s 10^{- 2}

T h e v a l u e o f t e r a i s 10^{12}

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c e n t i) = x (t e r a)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 10^{- 2} = x \times 10^{12}

Or

1.0 \cdot 10^{- 2} = x \cdot 10^{12}

Conversion Equation

10^{- 2} = x \times 10^{12}

Switch sides

x \times 10^{12} = 10^{- 2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{10^{12}})

x \times 10^{12} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{12}} = 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{12}}

Cancel

x \times 10^{12} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{12}} = 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{10^{12}}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 2}}{10^{12}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{12}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 12}

Rewrite

x = 10^{- 12} \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

x = 10^{- 14}

Solve

x

x = 10^{- 14}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c e n t i) = 10^{- 14} (t e r a)
