How to convert inches to feet

There are 12 inches in a foot. Divide the inches by 12: the whole number is the feet, and what's left over is the inches.

  1. Feet = inches ÷ 12, keeping only the whole number
  2. Inches left over = inches − feet × 12
  3. Decimal feet = inches ÷ 12
  4. Feet to inches = feet × 12 + inches

Worked example

71 inches ÷ 12 = 5 with 11 left over (5 × 12 = 60, and 71 − 60 = 11), so 71 inches is 5 ft 11 in, or 5.917 feet as a decimal. Going back, 5 ft 7 in is 5 × 12 + 7 = 67 inches.
