How to convert feet and inches to cm
cm = (feet × 12 + inches) × 2.54
Example: 5 feet 7 inches = 5 × 12 + 7 = 67 inches; 67 × 2.54 = 170.18 cm.
How to convert cm to feet and inches
Divide the cm by 2.54 to get total inches, then divide by 12. The whole number is feet and the remainder is inches. For 180 cm: 180 ÷ 2.54 = 70.87 inches = 5′ 10.9″.
