Height in centimetres to feet and inches is the most common reason for this conversion: doctor forms, dating profiles, sports rosters and visa applications use one or the other. First divide by 2.54 to get total inches, then divide by 12: the whole number is feet and the remainder is inches. The converter shows both decimal feet and feet plus inches, for example 170 cm = 5 ft 6.9 in.
