Frequently asked questions
How do I convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius?
Use the formula °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 98.6 °F = 37 °C.
What is the formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius?
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.
Why can't temperature be converted with a single factor?
Celsius and Fahrenheit use different degree sizes and different zero points. A Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 of a Celsius degree, and 0 °C equals 32 °F, so you convert by scaling and then shifting: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32.
