750 fehrenheit is equal to 677.594 kelvin.
The conversion from fehrenheit to kelvin involves first converting the fehrenheit temperature to celsius, then adding 273.15 to reach kelvin. This two-step process accounts for the different zero points and scaling used in the temperature scales.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert fehrenheit (°F) to kelvin (K) is:
K = (°F – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
This works because fehrenheit measures temperature relative to the freezing point of water at 32°F and boiling at 212°F, whereas kelvin starts at absolute zero (0 K). First, subtracting 32 shifts the zero point to the freezing point of water. Then multiplying by 5/9 adjusts the scale to celsius units. Adding 273.15 converts celsius degrees to kelvin, which starts at absolute zero.
Example with 750°F:
- Subtract 32: 750 – 32 = 718
- Multiply by 5/9: 718 × 5/9 ≈ 398.8889
- Add 273.15: 398.8889 + 273.15 = 677.594
- Result: 677.594 K
Conversion Example
- Convert 300 fehrenheit to kelvin:
- 300 – 32 = 268
- 268 × 5/9 ≈ 148.8889
- 148.8889 + 273.15 = 422.0389 K
- Convert 500 fehrenheit to kelvin:
- 500 – 32 = 468
- 468 × 5/9 ≈ 260
- 260 + 273.15 = 533.15 K
- Convert 1000 fehrenheit to kelvin:
- 1000 – 32 = 968
- 968 × 5/9 ≈ 537.778
- 537.778 + 273.15 = 810.928 K
- Convert 0 fehrenheit to kelvin:
- 0 – 32 = -32
- -32 × 5/9 ≈ -17.7778
- -17.7778 + 273.15 = 255.372 K

Conversion Definitions
Fehrenheit: Fehrenheit is a temperature scale based on water freezing at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees under normal atmospheric pressure. It uses degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as units and is mainly used in the United States for weather and cooking temperatures, though it lacks scientific universality.
Kelvin: Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale used in scientific measurements. Zero kelvin (0 K) is absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature where atomic motion stops. Kelvin units are the same size as degrees Celsius but shifted to start at absolute zero, used widely in physics and chemistry.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion formula subtracting 32 before multiplying?
The fehrenheit scale sets water’s freezing point at 32 degrees, not zero. Subtracting 32 shifts the temperature value to a zero point aligned with freezing water, matching the celsius scale’s zero. This adjustment ensures the following multiplication correctly translates the temperature magnitude.
Can I convert fehrenheit directly to kelvin without going through celsius?
The formula combines the two steps: converting fehrenheit to celsius and then to kelvin in one expression. This is why you see the subtraction of 32, multiplication by 5/9, and addition of 273.15 all in one formula. Doing it stepwise or directly leads to the same result mathematically.
Why does kelvin start at 273.15 instead of 0 like fehrenheit?
Kelvin is based on absolute zero, the theoretical lowest temperature possible where particles have minimum energy. This is 273.15 degrees below the freezing point of water on the celsius scale, so kelvin shifts the zero point there. Fehrenheit’s zero is set differently, unrelated to absolute zero.
Is there any temperature where fehrenheit and kelvin values are equal?
Fehrenheit and kelvin scales use different zero points and unit sizes, so their values rarely match directly. To find equality, you would solve the equation (°F – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = °F, which does not have a realistic solution. Therefore, they practically never equal each other in normal temperature ranges.
How precise is this conversion for scientific measurements?
The formula is precise enough for most applications, but small rounding errors can occur depending on decimal places used. For highly sensitive scientific work, more exact constants or calibration might be required, but for general use, this conversion is sufficiently accurate.
