How to Convert °F to °C
The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Or approximately: (°F - 30) ÷ 2
For example, to convert 350°F to Celsius: (350 - 32) × 5/9 = 318 × 0.556 = 177°C

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). Formula: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. For example, 350°F = (350-32) × 5/9 = 177°C.
What is 350°F in Celsius?
350°F equals approximately 177°C. This is the most common baking temperature for cakes, cookies, and many other baked goods.
What is 400°F in Celsius?
400°F equals approximately 204°C. This higher temperature is used for roasting vegetables, baking pizza, and cooking dishes that need more browning.
Why do US recipes use Fahrenheit?
The United States is one of the few countries that still uses Fahrenheit for everyday temperature measurements. Most of the world uses Celsius, so international recipes may need conversion.
What is the formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius?
The formula is: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. You can also use the approximation: subtract 30 and divide by 2, which is close enough for cooking purposes.
