Length Conversion FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting centimeters to feet, inches, and other metric or imperial units.
To convert centimeters to feet, divide the number of centimeters by 30.48. Since there are exactly 30.48 centimeters in one foot, this division gives you the total length in feet, including decimal fractions.
There are exactly 30.48 centimeters in one foot. This is because one foot is defined as 12 inches, and one inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters (12 × 2.54 = 30.48).
First, divide the centimeters by 2.54 to get the total inches. Then, divide the total inches by 12. The whole number result is the feet, and the remainder is the inches. For example, 180 cm is 70.86 inches. 70.86 ÷ 12 is 5 with a remainder of 10.86, so it is 5 feet 10.86 inches.
The formula to convert centimeters to feet is: Feet = Centimeters ÷ 30.48. Alternatively, you can convert centimeters to inches first (Centimeters ÷ 2.54) and then divide by 12 to get feet.
To convert feet and inches back to centimeters, multiply the number of feet by 30.48, multiply the number of inches by 2.54, and add the two results together. For example, 5 feet 10 inches is (5 × 30.48) + (10 × 2.54) = 152.4 + 25.4 = 177.8 cm.
No, 1 cm is not equal to 1 inch. One inch is exactly equal to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, a centimeter is smaller than an inch. To convert cm to inches, you divide by 2.54.
