Convert Square centimetres to Square feet
1 square centimetre is 0.001076 sq ft. One square centimetre is exactly 0.00107639104167 square feet.
One square centimetre is 0.001076391 square feet. To convert square centimetres to square feet, multiply by 0.001076391; to go the other way, divide by 0.001076391 or multiply by 929.0304. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Office of Weights and Measures. A ten-thousandth of a square metre — not a hundredth, which is the mistake squaring a prefix invites.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Office of Weights and Measures rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: sqcm to sqft is how the symbols are typed on a keyboard with no superscript on it.
