Converting temperatures between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) is a fundamental task in many scientific and everyday applications. The conversion factor between these two scales is essential for accurate temperature readings and comparisons. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to the conversion process, including the formula, steps, and practical examples.
Temperature conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius plays a crucial role in various fields, including:
The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
where:
Example 1: Convert 106°F to Celsius
°C = (106°F - 32) × 5/9
°C = (74°F) × 5/9
°C = 40°C
Example 2: Convert 50°C to Fahrenheit
°F = (50°C × 9/5) + 32
°F = (450/5) + 32
°F = 122°F
