Fahrenheit and Centigrade (Celsius) Conversion
The following chart is a guide for converting from Fahrenheit to Centigrade (celsius). Round to the nearest 5 degrees for ease in setting your oven.
Convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit reading, multiply by 5, and then divide by 9 to find the Centigrade reading.
- For example: 160o F – 32 = 128; 128 × 5 = 640; 640 ÷ 9 = 71.11o C; round down to 70o C. for the >oven setting.
Convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit
- Multiply the Centigrade reading by 9, divide by 5, and then add 32 to find the Fahrenheit reading.
- For example: 70o C × 9 = 630; 630 ÷ 5 = 126; 126 + 32 = 158o F; round up to 160o F for the >oven setting.
