How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
Formula: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9 (or approximately 0.5556).
Example: Convert 98.6°F to Celsius:
(98.6 - 32) x 5/9 = 66.6 x 5/9 = 37°C
The Fahrenheit scale (°F) is primarily used in the United States. The Celsius scale (°C) is the international standard for temperature measurement. Both scales converge at -40 degrees.
