Inches and feet are related length units in the US customary system: 12 inches make one foot. Converting inches to feet means dividing by 12. When the number of inches divides evenly, the answer is a whole number, such as 48 inches = 4 feet. Otherwise the result is a decimal, such as 30 inches = 2.5 feet, which can also be written as feet and leftover inches (2 feet 6 inches). The conversion is exact, so the only rounding comes from how many decimal places you keep.
This conversion helps whenever measurements are taken in inches but the job is planned or priced in feet. Lumber, trim, fencing, wire and pipe are often sold by the linear foot, while individual cuts are measured in inches. Square footage calculations need dimensions in feet, so a room measured as 138 by 162 inches must be converted before multiplying. Heights listed in total inches and furniture specs are other common cases. Watch the difference between decimal feet and feet-and-inches: 5.25 feet is 5 feet 3 inches, not 5 feet 25 inches.
To use this converter, enter a measurement in the Inches box and the value in feet appears as you type. The tool also works the other way, so typing into the Feet box shows the equivalent in inches. Decimals are accepted, so a measurement like 73.5 inches works. Results are shown as decimal feet rounded to two places. To express the answer as feet and inches, take the whole number as feet and multiply the decimal part by 12 to get the remaining inches.
Divide the number of inches by 12. Formula: feet = inches ÷ 12. Example: 90 inches ÷ 12 = 7.5 feet.
To write the answer as feet and inches, use the whole number of feet and convert the remainder. Example: 90 ÷ 12 = 7 with 6 left over, so 90 inches = 7 ft 6 in.
