Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Use the formula °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9 (about 0.5556). For example, 98.6°F = (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37°C.
What is 32°F in Celsius?
32°F is 0°C — the freezing point of water. And 212°F (boiling water) is 100°C.
What temperature is the same in Fahrenheit and Celsius?
−40°. At −40 degrees both scales read the same number, because (−40 − 32) × 5/9 = −40. It is the only point where the two scales intersect.
Does the converter handle negative Fahrenheit values?
Yes. The formula works for any temperature, including negative values. For example, −13°F = (−13 − 32) × 5/9 = −25°C.
