°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9= 37
Note
This result is a simplified model: it converts the single value you entered with the exact factors shown, and rounds to the display precision. It does not know your measurement's accuracy, and cooking or density conversions depend on how an ingredient is packed. Check critical figures against the original units.

What is the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius?+
Celsius = (Fahrenheit − 32) × 5/9. You subtract 32 first to align the zero points, then scale by 5/9 to account for Fahrenheit's smaller degree increments.
Why do I subtract 32 before multiplying instead of after?+
The order matters because the two scales differ in both their starting point and their step size. Subtracting 32 first removes the offset between the scales' zero points, and only then does multiplying by 5/9 correctly rescale the remaining difference.
What is normal human body temperature in Celsius?+
98.6°F converts to exactly 37.0°C using the formula: (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37. This is why 37°C is the commonly cited 'normal' body temperature reference in countries using Celsius.
How do oven temperatures compare between the two scales?+
A 350°F oven, common in US recipes, converts to about 177°C, which most recipes and oven dials round to 175°C or 180°C. When converting recipes, round to the nearest setting your oven actually offers rather than chasing exact decimals.
Why does a negative Fahrenheit temperature sometimes convert to a less negative Celsius value?+
Because Fahrenheit degrees are smaller than Celsius degrees (a 1°C change equals a 1.8°F change), the same physical temperature difference spans more Fahrenheit degrees. So very cold Fahrenheit readings compress into a narrower, less extreme-looking Celsius range.
