      A nanometer is a meter times 10 to the -9 power. A centimeter is a meter times 10 to the -2 power. So the difference is a factor of 10 to the 7th power. To convert, take the number of centimeters and multiply by 10 to the 7th power (10^7). Example, 1 cm would equal 1 cm X 10^7 or 1 x 10^7 Nanometers, which is 10,000,000 nm.
