Here, we will not only show you what 172 centimeters is in feet and inches, but also show you
how we converted 172 cm to feet and inches.
First things first. 172 cm in feet and inches is:
5 feet and 7 43/60 inches
Here is the math, with an explanation to show you how we converted 172 centimeters into
feet and inches:
There are 0.393701 inches in a centimeter, so to convert 172 cm to inches only, we did this:
+ 0.393701 x 172
= 67.716572 inches
There are 12 inches in a foot. To get the number of feet, we divided inches by 12. The number to
the left of the decimal is the number of feet:
+ 67.716572 / 12
= 5.6430477 feet
= 5 feet
Then, we subtracted the feet from the answer above and multiplied the result by 12 to get inches. The number to the left
of the decimal is the number of inches.
+ 5.6430477 - 5
= 0.6430477
+ 0.6430477 x 12
= 7.7165720
= 7 inches
Finally, we made the leftover (remainder) from above into a fraction with a 2 digit accuracy as follows:
+ 7.7165720 - 7
= 0.7165720
0.7165720 converted to fraction
= 43/60 fraction of an inch
And once again, you have your answer:
172 cm = 5 ft 7 43/60 in
