How the Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter Works

Converting °F to °C isn’t a simple multiplication because the scales start at different points. To go from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by five-ninths; body temperature 98.6°F is 37°C, and water freezes at 32°F (0°C) and boils at 212°F (100°C).

Type a value and pick the direction — the converter handles both ways instantly.

C = (F − 32) × 5/9
