Easily convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) with our Fahrenheit to Celsius online conversion calculator. Quick and convenient tool for temperature conversions.
How To Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius (°F to °C)
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
C = (F – 32) × 5/9
Where:
- C is the temperature in degrees Celsius
- F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
The steps are:
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.
- Multiply the result from step 1 by 5/9 (or 5 divided by 9).
Examples
Example 1:
Convert 68°F to Celsius
C = (68°F – 32) x 5/9 C = 36 x 5/9 C = 20°C
So 68°F is equal to 20°C
Example 2:
Convert 104°F to Celsius
C = (104°F – 32) x 5/9 C = 72 x 5/9 C = 40°C
So 104°F is equal to 40°C
Example 3:
Convert 14°F to Celsius
C = (14°F – 32) x 5/9 C = -18 x 5/9 C = -10°C
So 14°F is equal to -10°C

What are Fahrenheit and Celsius?
Fahrenheit and Celsius are two different temperature scales used to measure how hot or cold something is.
Fahrenheit (°F):
- The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.
- On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is defined as 32°F, and the boiling point of water is defined as 212°F.
- It is the temperature scale commonly used in the United States.
Celsius (°C):
- The Celsius scale, previously known as the centigrade scale, is the temperature scale defined by the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point of water at 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure.
- It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who developed the scale in 1742.
- The Celsius scale is the temperature scale used by most countries in the world and is the primary temperature scale used in scientific work.
