Fahrenheit to Celsius — °F to °C Converter

Conversion Formula

Plug the Fahrenheit value into the temperature formula below.
°C = (F − 32) × 5/9

How to Convert Step by Step

• Enter the number of Fahrenheit you want to convert (e.g. 30 °F).
• Multiply it by the factor given in the formula (or apply the temperature formula).
• Round the result to 2–4 decimals for practical use — done, that is your value in Celsius.

Common Fahrenheit to °C Conversion Table

Real-World Examples

• Fahrenheit appears in US weather reports, baking recipes, and thermostat settings (e.g., 72°F). Example: 30 °F ≈ -1.1111 °C.
• Celsius is used for weather, body temperature (normal ≈ 36–37°C), and oven settings. Example: 37 °C ≈ 122 °F.
• Fahrenheit appears in US weather reports, baking recipes, and thermostat settings (e.g., 72°F). Another common case: 50 °F = 10 °C.

About Fahrenheit & Celsius

• Fahrenheit: Fahrenheit was created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724: water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. Still used in the US.
• Celsius: Celsius was introduced by Anders Celsius in 1742: 0°C = water freezing, 100°C = boiling. It is the world's most used scale.
• Watch significant figures: 2–3 decimals are enough for daily use; keep more for engineering and science.

FAQ

How many Celsius in 1 °F?

1 °F = -17.2222 °C. Use the converter above to compute any value, or multiply °F by the temperature formula.

Is this Fahrenheit-to-Celsius converter accurate?

Yes — conversions use the standard temperature formulas (e.g. F = C × 9/5 + 32), and results are rounded to 4 decimals.

When is Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion used?

Fahrenheit appears in US weather reports, baking recipes, and thermostat settings (e.g., 72°F). Celsius is used for weather, body temperature (normal ≈ 36–37°C), and oven settings. Whenever a value is given in °F but you need °C, this converter is the quick fix.
