How to Convert Centimeters to Feet and Inches?

1 centimeter is equal to 0,032808 feet.

1 Feet = 1 Cm / 30.48, consequently 1 cm = 0,032808 ft

1 centimeter is equal to 0,3937 inches:

1 cm = 0,3937 in

d_{(in) total} = d_(cm) / 2,54

d_(ft) = ⌊d_{(in) total} / 12⌋

d_(in) = d_{(in) total} – 12 * d_(ft)

Examples

Example 1:

Consider a height of 165 centimeters. To convert this to feet and inches, we start by dividing the centimeters by 2.54 to convert to total inches.

d_{(in) total} = d_(cm) / 2,54 = 165 / 2,54 = 64.96 total inches.

Next, we convert inches to feet by dividing the total inches by 12.

d_(ft) = ⌊d_{(in) total} / 12⌋ = 64.96 inches / 12 = 5 feet, then

d_(in) = d_{(in) total} – 12 * d_(ft) = 64.96 – 12*5 = 4.96 inches

So, 165 centimeters is approximately equal to 5 feet and 4.96 inches.

Example 2:

Imagine we have a power cord for an electronic device that measures 150 centimeters in length. To better understand its length, we can convert it to feet and inches.

d_{(in) total} = d_(cm) / 2,54 = 150 / 2,54 = 59.055 total inches.

d_(ft) = ⌊d_{(in) total} / 12⌋ = 59.055 inches / 12 = 4 feet, then

d_(in) = d_{(in) total} – 12 * d_(ft) = 59.055 – 12*4 = 11.055 inches

So, the 150-centimeter power cord is approximately 4 feet and 11.055 inches long.
