Explanation

Multiply by 1000 because 1 N/m = 1 N/m and 1 dyn/cm = 0.001 N/m.

Method & Reference

Method basis: exact conversion formula shown in Snapshot.
Applied factor: 1 Newtons per meter = 1,000 Dynes per centimeter.
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same constants and rounding policy.
