newton centimeter to newton meter
Convert newton centimeter (N·cm) to newton meter (N·m). Use an editable torque converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 N·cm = 0.01 N·m
Conversion formula
One newton centimeter equals 0.01 newton meter. Multiply your value in newton centimeter by this factor to get newton meter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 newton centimeter:5 × 0.01 = 0.05 N·m

About these measurements
Torque describes a force’s turning effect around an axis.
The base reference used here is the newton meter. One newton centimeter is 0.01 base units; one newton meter is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert N·cm to N·m?
Multiply the quantity in N·cm by 0.01. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the newton meter to newton centimeter converter.
