How the Conversion Works

This tool uses precise formulas to ensure accuracy:

Feet + Inches → cm: (ft × 12 + in) × 2.54
cm → Feet/Inches: (cm ÷ 2.54) → split into feet (12 inches = 1 foot)
m → Feet/Inches: (m × 100) ÷ 2.54 → convert to inches, then split

The result is rounded neatly for easy readability.
