How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
The formula is: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). Fahrenheit is used primarily in the United States. Celsius is the standard temperature scale used in most of the world and in scientific contexts. Water freezes at 32°F (0°C) and boils at 212°F (100°C).
