How to Convert Meters to Feet and Inches
Converting a measurement from meters (m) to feet (ft) and inches (in) is a common calculation for height, room dimensions, and more. It's a two-step process that requires first converting to total inches.
-
Step 1: Convert Meters to Total Inches
The international standard is that 1 inch is exactly 0.0254 meters. To convert, you divide your meter value by 0.0254 (or multiply by ~39.37).
Formula: Total Inches = Meters / 0.0254 -
Step 2: Convert Total Inches to Feet and Inches
Divide the total inches by 12. The whole number is your **feet** part. The remainder is your **inches** part.
Example: Convert 1.80m to Feet and Inches
- Step 1:
1.80 m / 0.0254 = 70.866... inches - Step 2:
70.866 / 12 = 5.9055.... The whole number is **5 feet**. - Step 3:
0.9055... × 12 = 10.866... inches.
Therefore, 1.80 meters is equal to **5' 10.87"** (5 feet and 10.87 inches).
