What is a Cent? History, origin and usage
The cent takes its name from the Latin centum, meaning one hundred, because it is one-hundredth of an acre. It is the southern Indian counterpart of the eastern Indian decimal, a survival of the British practice of splitting the acre into a hundred equal parts.
It is the common small-plot unit in South India, used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for real-estate deals and government allocations. Despite metrication it persists in news reports and property listings across the south.
One hundred cents make one acre, and a cent is about 435.6 square feet or roughly 40.5 square metres. A cent and a decimal are the same area under two regional names.
What is a Are? History, origin and usage
The are is the original metric unit of land area, established by the French Revolutionary metric law of 1795 as 100 square metres. Its name comes from the Latin area, and it gave rise to the much more widely used hectare (100 ares).
Today the are itself is rarely used in everyday measurement, having been largely displaced by the square metre and the hectare. It survives mainly in a few European cadastral contexts and as the building block from which the hectare is defined.
One are is a square of 10 metres by 10 metres, and 100 ares make one hectare. It is one of the few metric units whose name survives chiefly inside a larger derived unit.

How to use this Cent to Are converter
Type a number into the Cent field and the equivalent in Are appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Are field to convert the other way (are to cent). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 cent = 0.4046856are), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for cent-to-are conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
