Here, we will not only show you what 42 centimeters is in feet and inches, but also show you
how we converted 42 cm to feet and inches.
First things first. 42 cm in feet and inches is:
1 foot and 4 53/99 inches
Here is the math, with an explanation to show you how we converted 42 centimeters into
feet and inches:
There are 0.393701 inches in a centimeter, so to convert 42 cm to inches only, we did this:
+ 0.393701 x 42
= 16.535442 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:
+ 16.535442 / 12
= 1.3779535 feet
= 1 foot
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.
+ 1.3779535 - 1
= 0.3779535
+ 0.3779535 x 12
= 4.5354420
= 4 inches
Finally, we made the leftover (remainder) from above into a fraction with a 2 digit accuracy as follows:
+ 4.5354420 - 4
= 0.5354420
0.5354420 converted to fraction
= 53/99 fraction of an inch
And once again, you have your answer:
42 cm = 1 ft 4 53/99 in
