How to convert centimeters to feet+inches

1 centimeter is equal to 0.032808 feet:

1 cm = 0.032808 ft

1 centimeter is equal to 0.3937 inches:

1 cm = 0.3937 in

The total distance d in inches (in) is equal to the distance d in centimeters (cm) divided by 2.54:

d_{(in) total} = d_(cm) / 2.54

The distance d in feet (ft) is equal to the floor value of the distance d in inches (in) divided by 12:

d_(ft) = ⌊d_{(in) total} / 12⌋

The distance d in inches (in) is equal to the total distance d in inches (in) minus 12 times the distance d in feet (ft):

d_(in) = d_{(in) total} – 12 × d_(ft)

Example

Convert 40 centimeters to feet+inches:

d_{(in) total} = 40cm / 2.54 = 15.748in

d_(ft) = ⌊15.748in / 12⌋ = 1ft

d_(in) = 15.748in – 12 × 1ft = 3.748in

d_(ft+in) = 1ft + 3.748in
