1° F to C: Converting 1° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 1° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 1° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×

9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 1° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
1
−
32
)
×

9
C = (1 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 1 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
−
31
×

C = -31 × \frac{5}{9}
C = − 31 × 9 5
C
=

=
−
17.222
C = -31 × \frac{5}{9} = -17.222
C = − 31 × 9 5 = − 17.222
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
−
17.222
C = -17.222
C = − 17.222
So:
1° Fahrenheit = -17.222° Celsius
