The temperature 110°F is equal to 43.3333°C.
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9. This removes the offset in the Fahrenheit scale and adjusts for the different size of each degree.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Fahrenheit (f) to Celsius (c) is:
c = (f – 32) × 5/9
This works because the Fahrenheit scale sets 32°F as the freezing point of water, while Celsius uses 0°C. So, subtracting 32 removes the offset. Then multiply by 5/9 to account for the different degree sizes between the scales. Fahrenheit degrees are smaller, so this ratio converts the magnitude.
Example: Converting 110°F to Celsius.
Step 1: Subtract 32 from 110 → 110 – 32 = 78
Step 2: Multiply result by 5/9 → 78 × 5/9 = 43.3333°C
Conversion Example
- Convert 95°F to Celsius:
- Subtract 32: 95 – 32 = 63
- Multiply by 5/9: 63 × 5/9 = 35°C
- Convert 70°F to Celsius:
- Subtract 32: 70 – 32 = 38
- Multiply by 5/9: 38 × 5/9 ≈ 21.1111°C
- Convert 120°F to Celsius:
- Subtract 32: 120 – 32 = 88
- Multiply by 5/9: 88 × 5/9 ≈ 48.8889°C
- Convert 100°F to Celsius:
- Subtract 32: 100 – 32 = 68
- Multiply by 5/9: 68 × 5/9 ≈ 37.7778°C

Conversion Definitions
F (Fahrenheit): Fahrenheit is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees under standard conditions. It is used mainly in the United States, and each degree Fahrenheit represents 1/180 of the interval between freezing and boiling points of water.
C (Celsius): Celsius is a metric temperature scale with zero degrees set at water freezing point and 100 degrees at boiling point under standard pressure. One degree Celsius equals one-hundredth of this interval, widely used internationally for scientific and daily temperature measurements.
Conversion FAQs
Why do we subtract 32 in the Fahrenheit to Celsius formula?
Subtracting 32 removes the offset between the two scales. Fahrenheit sets freezing water at 32°F, while Celsius sets at 0°C. So before adjusting for degree size, the 32 degree difference must be removed to align the two temperature points.
Is the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion exact?
The conversion formula uses a fixed ratio and offset, so it is exact mathematically. However, when rounded to decimal places, minor differences appear. The formula gives the precise Celsius equivalent unless rounding occurs.
Can I convert Celsius back to Fahrenheit using a similar formula?
Yes, the reverse formula is f = (c × 9/5) + 32. Multiply Celsius by 9/5 to scale the degrees, then add 32 to restore the Fahrenheit freezing point offset.
Why is the multiplier 5/9 in the conversion?
The 5/9 comes from the ratio of the sizes of one degree Celsius to one degree Fahrenheit. Since 180 Fahrenheit degrees equal 100 Celsius degrees between freezing and boiling points, the fraction 5/9 converts Fahrenheit degree increments to Celsius.
Is the tool able to convert negative Fahrenheit values?
Yes, negative Fahrenheit values can be converted the same way by the formula. The tool accepts negative numbers and calculates their Celsius equivalent correctly, reflecting below-freezing temperatures.
