140 millimeters is equivalent to 14 centimeters.

We know (by definition) that: 1 mm = 0.1 cm

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of centimeters.

1   mm 140   mm = 0.1   cm x   cm

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x   cm = 140   mm 1   mm * 0.1   cm → x   cm = 14.0   cm

Conclusion: 140   mm = 14.0   cm

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.0714285714285714 times 140 millimeters.

It can also be expressed as: 140 millimeters is equal to 1 0.0714285714285714 centimeters.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: one hundred and forty millimeters is about zero centimeters, or alternatively, a centimeter is about zero point zero seven times one hundred and forty millimeters.
