Inches to Feet Converter

How to Convert Inches to Feet

To convert inches to feet, divide by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches). The whole number is feet, and the remainder is the leftover inches. For example, 70 inches ÷ 12 = 5 remainder 10, so 70 inches = 5 feet 10 inches. This conversion is used constantly in everyday American life — for height measurements, lumber dimensions, furniture sizing, and screen sizes. The inch-to-foot relationship is one of the most fundamental in the US measurement system.

The Inches to Feet Formula

The formula is: feet = inches ÷ 12. For feet and inches: whole feet = floor(inches ÷ 12), remaining inches = inches mod 12. For decimal feet: simply divide by 12. Example: 67 inches → 67 ÷ 12 = 5.583 ft → 5 ft + (0.583 × 12) = 5 ft 7 in. For metric: multiply inches by 2.54 to get cm. So 67" × 2.54 = 170.18 cm.
