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 Fahrenheit = 0.555556 Celsius, then − 17.77777777777778 99 × 0.555556 − 17.7778 = 37.2
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 (°C) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 37 | −0.22222 |
| 1 decimal | 37.2 | −0.02222 |
| 2 decimals | 37.22 | −0.00222 |
Round trip: take 37.2 °C back the other way and you land on 98.9600 °F — a drift of 0.0400 °F. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
