Centimeters to Feet Converter

How to convert centimeters to feet

feet = centimeters ÷ 30.48

1 centimeter is one hundredth of a meter (SI prefix centi, 10⁻²). 1 foot is exactly 0.3048 meter (12 inches).

Dividing by 30.48 is exact. Written as a multiplication the factor is a repeating decimal, 1 cm = 0.03280839895013… ft, so a rounded multiplier such as 0.03281 is slightly off. This converter keeps the exact fraction (25/762) and rounds only the result it shows.

Worked example: 180 cm

1. Start with the value in centimeters: 180 cm.
2. Divide by 30.48, because 1 foot = 30.48 centimeters: 180 ÷ 30.48 = 5.905511811….
3. Round to the precision you need: 5.91 ft to two decimals.
4. In feet and inches: 5 ft 10.9 in.

Height in feet and inches

Heights are usually given in feet and inches rather than decimal feet. The converter shows both: 170 cm is 5.58 ft, which is 5 ft 6.9 in. The chart below lists every centimeter from 140 to 210 that way. For a two-way height tool that accepts feet and inches, use the height converter.
