Degrees Celsius = (ºF – 32) / 1.8
So for example, if you get a body temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit of 98.6, to know the degrees Celsius:
Degrees Celsius = (98.6 – 32) / 1.8
Celsius = (66.6) /1.8
Centigrade degrees = 37 ºC
If, on the contrary, we wanted to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, the following formula would be used:
Fahrenheit degrees = (ºC · 1.8) + 32
Thus, for example, if we have a body temperature of 37ºC in degrees Fahrenheit, it would correspond to:
Fahrenheit degrees = (37 1.8) + 32
degrees fahrenheit = 98.6
