Understanding CM to Feet Conversion

Converting centimeters to feet and inches is essential for anyone working with international measurements. The metric system uses centimeters while the imperial system employs feet and inches, making conversion knowledge crucial for construction, interior design, clothing, and everyday measurements.

Quick Conversion Facts:

1 meter equals exactly 100 centimeters
100 cm equals 3.28084 feet or 3 feet 3.37 inches
1 foot equals exactly 30.48 centimeters
1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters

Conversion Formulas

CM to Feet Formula

Feet = CM ÷ 30.48

Or alternatively:

Feet = CM × 0.0328084

CM to Feet and Inches Formula

Step 1: Convert CM to total inches

Total Inches = CM ÷ 2.54

Step 2: Calculate feet

Feet = Floor(Total Inches ÷ 12)

Step 3: Calculate remaining inches

Inches = Total Inches - (Feet × 12)

Example: Converting 100 CM

Method 1 - Direct to Feet:

100 ÷ 30.48 = 3.28084 feet

Method 2 - Feet and Inches:

100 ÷ 2.54 = 39.37 inches

39.37 ÷ 12 = 3 feet (quotient)

39.37 - 36 = 3.37 inches (remainder)

Result: 3 feet 3.37 inches
