    How to Convert Centimeters to Feet

    feet = centimeters ÷ 30.48

    To get feet and inches, divide the centimeters by 2.54 for total inches, take whole feet (÷ 12), and keep the remainder as inches.

    Worked Examples

    170 cm in feet and inches

    1. 170 ÷ 2.54 = 66.929 in
    2. 66.929 ÷ 12 = 5 ft with 6.93 in left over

    170 cm = 5.577 ft = 5 ft 6.93 in (about 5′7″)

    180 cm in feet and inches

    1. 180 ÷ 2.54 = 70.866 in
    2. 70.866 − 60 = 10.87 in

    180 cm = 5.906 ft = 5 ft 10.87 in (about 5′11″)
