Centimeters to feet and inches converterHow to convert meters to feet and inches step-by-stepOne meter is a length measurement and equals approximately 3.28 feet. One foot equals 12 inches exactly. If you need to be super precise, you can use one meter = 3.2808398950131 feet. Once this is very close to 3.28 feet, you will almost always want to use the simpler number to make the math easier.

Step 1: Convert from meters to feet1 meter = 3.28 x feet, so, 1.85 x 1 meter = 1.85 x 3.28 feet, or 1.85 meters = 6.07 feet. Step 2: Convert the decimal feet to inchesAn answer like "6.07 feet" might not mean much to you because you may want to express the decimal part, which is in feet, in inches once its is a smaller unit. So, take everything after the decimal point (0.07), then multiply that by 12 to turn it into inches. This works because one foot = 12 inches. Then, 6.07 feet = 6 feet + 0.07 foot. Once 0.07 foot x 12 = 0.84 inch or 6.07 feet = 6 feet and 0.84 inches. Obviously, this is equivalent to 1.85 meters. Step 3: Convert from decimal inches to an usable fraction of inchThe previous step gave you the answer in decimal inches (0.84), but how to measure it in an ruler or tape? See below a procedure, which can also be made using a calculator, to convert the decimal inches to the nearest usable fraction: a) Subtract 0, the number of whole inches, from 0.84: 0.84 - 0 = 0.84. This is the fractional part of the inches value. b) Multiply 0.84 times 16 (it could be 8, 16, 32, 64, ... depending on the exactness you want) to get the number of 16th's inches: 0.84 x 16 = 13.44. This is the number of 16th's of an inch and also the numerator of the fraction which may be still reduced. c) Round the result to nearest integer: round(13.44) = 13 Finally, 1.85 meters = 6 feet and 13/16 of an inch. In short: 1.85 m = 6'0 13/16"(*) (*) This result may differ from the calculator above because we've assumed that 1 meter equals 3.28 feet instead of 3.2808398950131 feet).

To calculate a meter value to the corresponding value in cm, just multiply the quantity in m by 100 (the conversion factor). Here is the formula: Value in cm = value in m × 100 Suppose you want to convert 1.85 m into cm. Using the conversion formula above, you will get: Value in cm = 1.85 × 100 = 185 cm Definition of MeterA meter (m), is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
