How to convert centimeters to feet and inches

1 cm = 0.032808 ft

1 cm = 0.3937 in

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

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⌋

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 cm to feet and inches

Ans. 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
