10 millimetres = 1 centimetre

1 metre = 100 centimetres = 1000 millimetres

1 kilometre = 1000 metres

How many millimetres make 1 kilometre?

Since 1 m = 1000 mm

1 km = 1000 m = 1000 × 1000 mm = 10,00,000 mm

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

1 gram = 1000 milligrams.

1 litre = 1000 millilitres

Note that in all these units we have some words common like kilo, milli and centi. You should remember  that among these kilo is the greatest and milli is the smallest; kilo shows 1000 times greater, milli shows

1000 times smaller, i.e. 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 gram = 1000 milligrams.

Similarly, centi shows 100 times smaller, i.e. 1 metre = 100 centimetres.
