20 MM to Centimeters Converter

What is 20 mm to centimeter?

To convert millimeter to centimeter, you use the conversion factor where centimeter equals 10.00 millimeter. Given the length of 20 millimeter, you would divide by 10.00 to find the equivalent length in centimeter. The calculation would look like this:

20 millimeter X (1 centimeter/10.00 millimeter) = 2.00 millimeter

This calculation involves multiplying millimeter by the reciprocal of 10.00 since dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. By doing so, we are essentially scaling the length from the metric unit (millimeter) to the imperial unit (centimeter). This specific operation allows for an accurate conversion between the two measurement systems without fundamentally changing the magnitude of the length, just expressing it in a different unit. The result of this calculation shows that 20 millimeter is approximately equal to 2.00 centimeter.

Seven Objects Approximately 20 mm in Length

1. Paper clip: A paper clip is a small, wire device used to hold together sheets of paper. It is typically made of steel or brass and has a length of approximately 20 mm. Paper clips come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most common type is the "GEM" clip, which is named after the company that first produced it in the 1890s.
