Convert hectometer to megameter
Please provide values below to convert hectometer [hm] to megameter [Mm], or Convert megameter to hectometer.
1 hm = 0.0001 Mm. To convert hectometer to megameter, multiply the value by 0.0001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Mm = 10000 hm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hm = 0.0001 Mm
- 1 Mm = 10000 hm
- 10 hm = 0.001 Mm
- 100 hm = 0.01 Mm
How to Convert Hectometer to Megameter
1 hm = 0.0001 Mm
Example: convert 15 hm to Mm:
15 hm = 15 × 0.0001 Mm = 0.0015 Mm

Hectometer
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
Megameter
A megameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^6 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "mega-" for 10^6 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1873.
Current Use
The megameter is sometimes used to specify the diameters of planets and the distances of satellites.
