1 Inch = 0.0833 Foot
Key Formulas
Centimeter → Inch
in = cm × 0.393701Kilometer → Mile
mi = km × 0.621371Foot → Meter
m = ft × 0.3048Inch → Centimeter
cm = in × 2.54Formula
ft = in × (0.0254 / 0.3048)Twelve inches make a foot, so converting inches to feet divides by 12, or multiplies by 0.0254 / 0.3048, about 0.0833. The definitions are exact: 1 in is 0.0254 m and 1 ft is 0.3048 m. This conversion turns a total in inches, such as a height of 70 in, into 5.83 ft. Most people want feet and inches, so take the whole feet first and keep the remainder in inches. NIST Handbook 44 gives the inch and foot relationships. Some land records use the US survey foot, which the NIST revised definitions separate from the international foot used here.
