There are \(500\) centimeters in \(5\) meters.

There are \(100\) centimeters in a meter.

The conversion factor from meters to centimeters is \(100\frac{\text{centimeters}}{\text{meters}}\).

Multiply the quantity in meters by the conversion factor to get the quantity in centimeters: \[5 \text{ meters} \times 100\tfrac{\text{centimeters}}{\text{meters}} = 500 \text{ centimeters}\]
