The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 Celsius = 1.800000 Fahrenheit, then + 32 79 × 1.800000 + 32.0000 = 174.2
How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (°F) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 174 | −0.20000 |
| 1 decimal | 174.2 | −0.00000 |
| 2 decimals | 174.20 | −0.00000 |
Round trip: take 174.2 °F back the other way and you land on 79.0000 °C — a drift of 0.0000 °C. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
