How to convert meters to feet

feet = meters ÷ 0.3048

The meter is the SI base unit of length. 1 foot is exactly 0.3048 meter (12 inches).

Dividing by 0.3048 is exact. Written as a multiplication the factor is a repeating decimal, 1 m = 3.280839895013… ft, so a rounded multiplier such as 3.281 is slightly off. This converter keeps the exact fraction (1250/381) and rounds only the result it shows.

Worked example: 4 m

  1. Start with the value in meters: 4 m.
  2. Divide by 0.3048, because 1 foot = 0.3048 meters: 4 ÷ 0.3048 = 13.12335958….
  3. Round to the precision you need: 13.12 ft to two decimals.
  4. In feet and inches: 13 ft 1.5 in.
