Here, we will not only show you what 187 centimeters is in feet and inches, but also show you
how we converted 187 cm to feet and inches.
First things first. 187 cm in feet and inches is:
6 feet and 1 28/45 inches
Here is the math, with an explanation to show you how we converted 187 centimeters into
feet and inches:
There are 0.393701 inches in a centimeter, so to convert 187 cm to inches only, we did this:
+ 0.393701 x 187
= 73.622087 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:
+ 73.622087 / 12
= 6.1351739 feet
= 6 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.
+ 6.1351739 - 6
= 0.1351739
+ 0.1351739 x 12
= 1.6220870
= 1 inch
Finally, we made the leftover (remainder) from above into a fraction with a 2 digit accuracy as follows:
+ 1.6220870 - 1
= 0.6220870
0.6220870 converted to fraction
= 28/45 fraction of an inch
And once again, you have your answer:
187 cm = 6 ft 1 28/45 in
