There are many problems where we have to calculate the distance in inches at the end but initially, the measurements are given in centimeters. So for such type of problems, the solution is converting the initial parameters into inches and then performing operations on it and another option is to perform operations in centimeters and then convert the final answer from centimeters to inches.

So, here in this article, we are going to write a Python code for converting the centimeters into inches.

Key: 1 inch = 2.54 cms

Example:

    Input:
    Centimeter: 245

    Output:
    Inches: 96.45669291338582    

Python code to convert Centimeter to Inches

# Python program to convert Centimeter to Inches 
# taking input
num = float(input("Enter the distance measured in centimeter : "))

# converting from cms to inches
""" 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters"""
inc = num/2.54 

# printing the result
print("Distance in inch : ", inc)

Output

First run:
Enter the distance measured in centimeter : 245
Distance in inch :  96.45669291338582

Second run:
Enter the distance measured in centimeter : 54
Distance in inch :  21.25984251968504 

Third run:
Enter the distance measured in centimeter : 2.54
Distance in inch :  1.0
