How It Works
Because one inch is defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters, the converter simply divides your centimeter value by 2.54 to get inches. It then splits the result into whole feet and remaining inches — the way height is usually quoted in the US and UK — and also gives a decimal-feet figure for calculations. This makes it equally useful for stating someone's height and for converting measurements on a plan or spec sheet.
Formula
Inches = Centimeters ÷ 2.54
Examples
Convert 175 cm
175 centimeters equals 68.9 inches, or 5 feet 8.9 inches.
