What is the Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter?

This converter helps you convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius. It's particularly useful for international conversions and understanding temperature measurements in different units.

Understanding the Conversion

Basic Formula

The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Example Conversions

  • To convert 32°F to Celsius:
    (32 - 32) × 5/9 = 0°C
  • To convert 212°F to Celsius:
    (212 - 32) × 5/9 = 100°C

Common Conversions

  • 32°F = 0°C (Freezing point of water)
  • 68°F = 20°C (Room temperature)
  • 98.6°F = 37°C (Body temperature)
  • 212°F = 100°C (Boiling point of water)
