How to Convert Feet & Inches to Centimeters
To convert a height value from feet and inches to centimeters, follow a few easy steps.
- Convert feet to inches by multiplying by 12.
- Add the inch value to the converted feet to get the height in inches.
- Multiply the height in inches by 2.54 to get the height in centimeters.
Our feet to centimeters calculator also makes this process a snap.
For example, let’s convert a height of 5′ 8″ to centimeters following the steps above.
inches = (5′ × 12) + 8″
inches = 60″ + 8″
inches = 68″
centimeters = 68″ × 2.54
centimeters = 172.72 cm
Thus, a height of 5′ 8″ is equal to 172.72 centimeters
How to Convert Centimeters to Inches
The process to convert a height from centimeters to feet and inches is essentially the reverse of the steps above.
- Divide the height in inches by 2.54 to convert to inches.
- Divide the inches by 12 to find the number of feet. Take the whole number as the number of feet and note the remainder.
- Multiply the remainder above by 12 to find the remaining inches.
You might also find a centimeters to feet calculator useful for this conversion.
For example, let’s convert a height of 165 cm to feet and inches using these steps.
inches = 165 cm ÷ 2.54
inches = 64.96″
feet = 64.96″ ÷ 12
feet = 5.413′
feet = 5′ & .413′ remainder
inches = .413′ × 12
inches ≈ 5″
So, a height of 165 cm is roughly equal to 5′ 5″
