How to convert centimetres to feet
One centimetre equals 0.032808 feet, so multiply the number of centimetres by 0.032808:
ft = cm × 0.032808
cm = ft ÷ 0.032808 (1 ft = 30.48 cm)
Example: 150 cm → 150 × 0.032808 = 4.9213 ft.
Going the other way, divide by 0.032808, or multiply by 30.48; the feet to centimetres converter does it for you.

When you need this conversion
This is the classic height conversion. The table shows decimal feet; to get feet and inches, take the whole feet and multiply the decimal part by 12. For example 175 cm = 5.74 ft = 5 ft and 0.74 × 12 = 8.9 in, so about 5 ft 9 in. The labels next to the everyday values already show feet and inches.
