Convert megameter to hectometer
Please provide values below to convert megameter [Mm] to hectometer [hm], or Convert hectometer to megameter.
1 Mm = 10000 hm. To convert megameter to hectometer, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hm = 0.0001 Mm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Mm = 10000 hm
- 1 hm = 0.0001 Mm
- 10 Mm = 100000 hm
- 100 Mm = 1000000 hm
How to Convert Megameter to Hectometer
1 Mm = 10000 hm
Example: convert 15 Mm to hm:
15 Mm = 15 × 10000 hm = 150000 hm

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.
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.
