These factors are exact or near-exact, and the converter applies them with full precision so rounded results stay accurate even through chained conversions.
Height, the everyday case
Height conversion trips people up because feet and inches mix units: 5 feet 10 inches is 70 inches, which is 177.8 cm. Going back, divide centimetres by 2.54 for total inches, then split by 12: 165 cm is 64.96 inches, which reads as 5 feet 5 inches. The converter handles the split automatically.
Common uses
