74° F to C: Converting 74° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 74° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 74° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 74° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
74
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (74 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 74 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
42
×
5
9
C = 42 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 42 × 9 5
C
=
42

5
9
=
23.333
C = 42 × \frac{5}{9} = 23.333
C = 42 × 9 5 = 23.333
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
23.333
C = 23.333
C = 23.333
So:
74° Fahrenheit = 23.333° Celsius
