Fahrenheit to Celsius Formula

The degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius Formula is °C = (°F − 32) / 0.555…

More formally, the formula is written as [°C] = ([°F] − 32) x 5 ⁄ 9.

In the next part you can find a F to Celsius example.

How to Convert the Temperature

For example, to change 100 °F to °C:

Subtract 32 from 100 to obtain 68. Then multiply 68 by 5 / 9.

The result is 37.77 centigrades.

The easiest way to conduct the f to c conversion is by using our app at the top of this page.

Additional Information on F to Celsius

By reading that far you know the most important facts about the conversion, be it either for professional reasons or private purposes you can now transform these temperature units with ease.

Frequent temperature conversions in this group include, for example:

We have created this temperature conversion site to help people transforming the temperature degrees between these two units.

Sometimes we used the term centigrade, which is a synonym for degrees Celsius.

Below you can find some key temperature conversions:

Absolute zero in °F = −459.67 °F
Absolute zero in °C = −273.15 °C
Intersection of the two scales: -40°
Human body temperature 37.0 °C or 98.6 °F on average

On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and the boiling point is at 212 °F, provided standard atmospheric pressure conditions.

On the Celsius temperature scale the freezing point of water is approximately 0 degrees Celsius (°C) and the boiling point is at 100 °C, assumed standard atmospheric pressure.

Rule of Thumb

The approximate temperature for F to C is:

Subtract 30 and halve the resulting temperature

I downloaded the app to my Macbook Air running Monterey 12.6 But now I have no idea where the app is, nor how to access it. It isn’t set up as a Chrome extension. Help!

In your website, you mention “Intersection of the two scales: 40°”. This should actually be “-40 degrees”.
