Convert

Formula

Temperature conversions use formulas (not ratios):
°C to °F: (C × 9/5) + 32
°F to °C: (F − 32) × 5/9
All other units: multiply by a fixed conversion factor
  • conversion factor (–) — Ratio between two units in the same dimension

Example: 1 mile = 1.60934 km → 5 miles = 5 × 1.60934 = 8.047 km
