Fahrenheit to Celsius (°F to °C)

Convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius instantly with the formula °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Includes worked examples and a full °F to °C table.

How to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius

The two scales have different zero points, so you need a formula rather than a single factor:

°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9

Examples

  • (32 − 32) × 5/9 = 0 °C
  • (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37 °C
  • (350 − 32) × 5/9 = 176.6666667 °C
