Celsius to Fahrenheit - Temperature
Conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit. How to calculate manually: Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5,
then add 32°, e.g. Convert 37° C to Fahrenheit: 37 * 9/5 = 333/5 = 66.6, then: 66.6 + 32 = 98.6° F.
Fahrenheit to Celsius - Temperature Conversion
from Fahrenheit to Celsius. How to calculate manually: Subtract 32° to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit
scale.
Multiply the result by 5/9, e.g. Convert 98.6° Fahrenheit to Celsius: 98.6 - 32 = 66.6, then: 66.6 * 5/9 = 333/9 =
37° C. Site also provides a mental math method to approximate the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion, and vice
versa.
