Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter
Understanding Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion
What is Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Fahrenheit to Celsius is the conversion of temperature units from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C). To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.
Conversion Formula
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) × 5/9
Example Calculation
To convert 77 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius:
(77 - 32) × 5/9 = 45 × 5/9 = 25 °C
Common Conversions
- 32 °F = 0 °C (Freezing point of water)
- 68 °F = 20 °C (Room temperature)
- 98.6 °F = 37 °C (Body temperature)
- 212 °F = 100 °C (Boiling point of water)
About Units
Fahrenheit (°F): A temperature scale where 32°F is the freezing point of water and 212°F is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure. It is primarily used in the United States.
Celsius (°C): A temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure. It is used in most countries around the world.
