Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) is F = (C × 9/5) + 32. It works because Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are offset and scaled differently. Multiplying by 9/5 adjusts for the scale difference, then adding 32 shifts the zero point from 0°C to 32°F. For example, 1°C: (1×9/5)+32 = 9/5+32=1.8+32=33.8°F.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10°C to F:
- Step 1: Multiply 10 by 9/5: 10 × 1.8 = 18
- Step 2: Add 32: 18 + 32 = 50°F
- Convert -5°C to F:
- Step 1: Multiply -5 by 9/5: -5 × 1.8 = -9
- Step 2: Add 32: -9 + 32 = 23°F
- Convert 25°C to F:
- Step 1: 25 × 1.8 = 45
- Step 2: 45 + 32 = 77°F
- Convert 0°C to F:
- Step 1: 0 × 1.8 = 0
- Step 2: 0 + 32 = 32°F
- Convert 20°C to F:
- Step 1: 20 × 1.8 = 36
- Step 2: 36 + 32 = 68°F

Conversion Definitions
C (Celsius) is a temperature scale where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure. It’s based on the metric system, with each degree representing 1/100 of the temperature difference between these points.
F (Fahrenheit) is a temperature scale used mainly in the United States, where 32°F is freezing point of water and 212°F boiling point. It divides the temperature range into 180 equal parts, with each degree Fahrenheit representing a smaller temperature change than Celsius.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 1°C equal 33.8°F?
This conversion is derived from the formula F = (C × 9/5) + 32. For 1°C, it becomes (1 × 9/5) + 32, which simplifies to 1.8 + 32, resulting in 33.8°F. The scale difference and the offset of 32 degrees create this specific relationship.
Can I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit without a calculator for small numbers?
Yes, for small Celsius values, you can estimate by multiplying by 2 and then subtracting or adding a few degrees. For 1°C, multiplying by 2 gives 2, and adjusting to the precise 33.8°F requires the formula, but estimation works for quick approximations.
What are the practical uses of knowing 1°C in Fahrenheit?
Knowing that 1°C equals 33.8°F helps in understanding weather reports, cooking recipes, and scientific data when switching between measurement systems. It ensures accurate temperature readings across different regions and contexts.
