How to convert inches to feet

  1. Divide by 12. 78 inches ÷ 12 = 6.5 feet.
  2. For feet and inches, take the whole number as feet, then multiply the decimal part by 12 for the inches left over: 0.5 × 12 = 6, so 78 inches = 6 ft 6 in.
  3. Going back, multiply the feet by 12 and add the inches: 6 ft 6 in = 6 × 12 + 6 = 78 inches.

Heights are usually written in feet and inches (5′ 7″), while lumber, rooms and plans often use decimal feet. To see a length at actual size on your screen, use the inch ruler; for height in centimeters, the feet to cm converter.
