Newton-centimeters to Newton-meters formula
newton-meters = newton-centimeters × 0.01
Multiply the number of newton-centimeters by 0.01 to get newton-meters. To go the other way, multiply by 100 instead, or use the nm to n cm converter.

Worked example
To convert 25 N·cm to newton-meters, multiply by 0.01: the result is 0.25 N·m. Torque is force multiplied by perpendicular distance. Although ft-lb is common search wording, lbf·ft is used in results to distinguish torque from foot-pound energy.
