How it’s calculated
One foot is exactly 30.48 cm, so divide centimetres by 30.48. For a height such as 170 cm, the feet-and-inches converter gives the answer as 5 ft 6.9 in instead of a decimal 5.58 ft.
1 cm ≈ 0.032808399 ft · 1 ft = 30.48 cm (exact)
ft = cm ÷ 30.48
- Divide the value in centimetres by 30.48.
- Equivalently, multiply by 0.03280839895.
- 1 cm = 0.03280839895 ft · 1 ft = 30.48 cm
Step by step
Find the conversion factor
By definition 1 cm = 0.01 m and 1 ft = 0.3048 m, so 1 ft = 30.48 cm. Source: BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.); NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44.
Multiply by the factor written as a fraction
