Step by step guide to convert degrees fahrenheit to degrees celsius

Shorthand (abbreviation) form

^\circ F = (x -\ 32)\ * \ \frac{5}{9}\ ^\circ C

Longhand form

^\circ Fahrenheit = (x -\ 32)\ * \ \frac{5}{9}\ ^\circ Celsius

Where x is the number of Fahrenheit. I.e to calculate water boiling temperature where x = 212 $^\circ $ F

^\circ F = (212 -\ 32)\ * \ \frac{5}{9}\ ^\circ C = 100\ ^\circ C

Some common uses

−459.67 Fahrenheit = -273.15 Celsius (absolute zero)
32 Fahrenheit = 0 Celsius (water melting temperature)
212 Fahrenheit = 100 Celsius (water boiling temperature)

What is degree Celsius?

Degree Celsius is the unit of measurement for template used by SI units. It's symbol is $^\circ C$ .

To convert some x amount of Celsius

^\circ C = (x *\ \frac{9}{5} + \ 32)\ ^\circ F

where x is number of degree Celsius

^\circ C = x +\ 273.15\ ^\circ K
