The Formula
Quick mental math: double C, subtract 10%, add 32. For F→C: subtract 32, halve, add 10%.
Real-World Applications
30°C = 86°F (hot), 0°C = 32°F (freezing). Essential for travelers.
180°C = 350°F oven. Vital when following international recipes.
37°C = 98.6°F body temp. Fever at 38°C (100.4°F).
0°C freezing, 100°C boiling — aligns with water's phase changes.
How the Conversion Works
The converter uses the standard temperature conversion formulas. For Celsius to Fahrenheit, it multiplies by 9/5 and adds 32. For Fahrenheit to Celsius, it subtracts 32 and multiplies by 5/9. All calculations use JavaScript floating-point arithmetic for accurate results, and the precision selector lets you control the number of decimal places shown.
Quick Reference Tips
For quick mental math: double the Celsius, subtract 10%, add 32. For Fahrenheit to Celsius: subtract 32, halve the result, add 10%. Key reference points: 0C=32F (freezing), 37C=98.6F (body temp), 100C=212F (boiling).
Frequently Asked Questions
Multiply C by 9/5 and add 32. Example: 25°C × 1.8 + 32 = 77°F.
Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. Example: 98.6°F − 32 = 66.6 × 5/9 = 37°C.
−40°C = −40°F — the only point where both scales match.
Yes. All calculations happen locally in your browser. No data is sent anywhere.
Room temperature (20-22C) converts to approximately 68-72F.
Yes, 40C equals 104F which is considered extreme heat and can be dangerous without proper precautions.
Subtract 32 from Fahrenheit, then multiply by 5/9. Example: 68F 32 = 36 5/9 = 20C.
