How It Works

Feet = Inches ÷ 12. One foot is defined as exactly 12 inches by US customary and international definition. Dividing any inch value by 12 produces the decimal foot equivalent. Whole-number multiples of 12 — like 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 — return clean integer feet. Non-multiples produce repeating decimals: 1 inch = 0.08333... feet (1/12 repeating). The calculator displays six decimal places to provide sufficient precision for construction and engineering applications where fractions of a foot matter. To convert decimal feet back to feet-and-inches, take the integer part as feet and multiply the fractional part by 12 to get inches.
