Convert N-cm to Nm

Newton centimeters to newton meters. Enter a value to convert, or use the N-cm to Nm chart further down the page.

Note. Torque and energy share the same dimensions, so a newton metre and a joule are numerically identical — but they are not interchangeable in meaning. Keep torque figures in torque units.

How to convert N-cm to Nm

To convert newton centimeters to newton meters, multiply the newton centimeter value by 0.01. You can also divide by 100 to get the same answer.

N·m = N·cm × 0.01

Worked example

Convert 15 N·cm to newton meters:

15 N·cm = 0.15 N·m
