Inches (in) to Feet (ft) Converter

This length unit converter dynamically calculates a value you enter in inches (in) and converts it to feet (ft) and also to feet & inches (ft & in). It also calculates a value you enter in feet & inches (ft & in) and converts it to feet (ft).

How many inches (in) are in 1 foot (ft)? What is the formula for how to convert inches to feet (in to ft)?

1 inch (in) = 0.083333333333333 feet (ft)
So we can say that there is 0.083333333333333 feet in 1 inch.
This means that the multiplication conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in an inch unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a foot unit of measurement is 0.083333333333333.

Inversely (or reciprocally),

1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
So we can say that there is 12 inches in 1 foot.
This means that the division conversion factor to convert a quantity expressed in an inch unit of measurement to an equivalent quantity expressed in a foot unit of measurement is 12.

Knowing this inverse mathematical relationship between the two conversion factors and their reciprocal operations, we can derive two formulas to calculate and convert a quantity of length expressed in inches to an equivalent quantity of length expressed in feet (in to ft). Both formulas will yield the same result. The formulas are:

ft = in × 0.083333333333333    → This is the formula based on the multiplication conversion factor.

and

ft = in ÷ 12    → This is the formula based on the division conversion factor.

For example, if you have a length of 155 inches that you want to convert to feet, you would use either of the two formulas as follows:

ft = 155 in × 0.083333333333333 = 12.9166666666667 ft
ft = 155 in ÷ 12 = 12.9166666666667 ft

So, the result is the same using either formula, which is 12.9166666666667 feet.

What is the formula for how to convert inches (in) to feet & inches (ft & in)?

Here are the formulas and steps to convert a certain length expressed in inches, such as a person’s height, to feet & inches. As an example, let’s use the height of NBA player Chet Holmgren, who is reported to be 85 inches tall, and convert it to feet & inches:

  1. Convert inches to feet: Divide the number of inches by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
85 inches / 12 = 7.083333333333333 feet
  1. Take the number to the left of the decimal point in step 1 above, as the number of whole feet.
7 feet
  1. Take the number to the right of the decimal point in step 1 above, and convert it to inches: To do this, multiply it by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
.083333333333333 feet × 12 = 0.999999999999996 inches
  1. Round off the result in step 3 to get the number of inches as a whole number.
0.999999999999996 inches is rounded off to 1 inch
  1. Combine the number of whole feet (in step 2) and inches (in step 4) to get Chet Holmgren’s height in feet & inches.
7 feet & 1 inch

So, Chet Holmgren is 7 feet & 1 inch tall.

What is the formula for how to convert feet & inches (ft & in) to feet (ft)?

Here are the formulas and steps to convert a certain length expressed in feet & inches, such as a person’s height, to feet. As an example, let’s again use the height of NBA player Chet Holmgren, who is reported to be 7 feet & 1 inch tall, and convert it to feet only:

  1. Note the number of Feet
7 feet
  1. Convert Inches to Feet: Divide the number of inches by 12 (since 1 inch = 12 feet).
1 inch / 12 = 0.0833333333333333 feet
  1. Combine the Results: Add the results from steps 1 and 2 to get the total height in feet.
7 feet + 0.0833333333333333 feet = 7.083333333333333 feet

So, Chet Holmgren’s height of 7 feet & 1 inch is equal to 7.083333333333333 feet.
