Frequently asked questions
How many inches are in a foot?
There are exactly 12 inches in one foot. This is a fixed definition in the imperial and US customary measurement systems. So to convert inches to feet, divide by 12.
How do I convert inches to feet and inches?
Divide the total inches by 12. The whole number is the feet, and the remainder is the leftover inches. For example, 67 inches ÷ 12 = 5 remainder 7, so 67 inches = 5 feet 7 inches (5'7").
What is 5 feet in inches?
5 feet = 60 inches. Multiply feet by 12 to get inches: 5 × 12 = 60.

6 feet = 72 inches. Multiply feet by 12: 6 × 12 = 72.
How do I convert inches to centimetres?
Multiply inches by 2.54. For example, 12 inches × 2.54 = 30.48 cm. Use the "To" dropdown in the converter above to switch directly to centimetres.
What is 5'10" (5 feet 10 inches) in total inches?
5 feet 10 inches = (5 × 12) + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70 inches. To go the other way, enter 70 in the converter and select feet to get 5.833 ft.
Inches to Feet Converter
The formula: inches ÷ 12 = feet
One foot equals exactly 12 inches — a fixed imperial definition. To convert any number of inches to feet, divide by 12. To get the feet-and-inches format (e.g. 5'7"), take the whole number as feet and the remainder as inches. For decimal feet, just leave the result as-is (e.g. 67 inches = 5.583 ft).
Common inch-to-feet conversions
12 in = 1 ft | 24 in = 2 ft | 36 in = 3 ft | 48 in = 4 ft | 60 in = 5 ft | 72 in = 6 ft | 84 in = 7 ft. For heights: 60 in = 5'0" | 63 in = 5'3" | 66 in = 5'6" | 69 in = 5'9" | 72 in = 6'0".
