## FAQ

**How many centimeters are in one foot?**

1 ft = 30.48 cm. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert feet to centimeters?**

Multiply the value in feet by 30.48: centimeters = feet × 30.48. For example, 5 ft = 152.4 cm.

**How do I convert centimeters back to feet?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.03280839895 (feet = centimeters × 0.03280839895), or use the centimeters-to-feet page.
