Key Formulas

Centimeter → Inch

in = cm × 0.393701

Kilometer → Mile

mi = km × 0.621371

Foot → Meter

m = ft × 0.3048

Inch → Centimeter

cm = in × 2.54

Formula

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.
