Formula

To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, use the formula °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.

°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9

Example calculation

Convert 25 °F to °C:

25 °F → °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9 → -3.88889 °C

Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.

About the units

Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
Used for everyday temperatures in the US and a few other countries. Proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724; water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F.
Degree Celsius (°C)
The temperature scale used by most countries and in science. Defined by Anders Celsius in 1742; 0 °C is water's freezing point and 100 °C its boiling point at sea level.
