Step-by-Step Calculation

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
  1. Start with 118°F
  2. Subtract 32: 118 - 32 = 86
  3. Multiply by 5/9: 86 × 0.5556 = 47.78
  4. Result: 118°F = 47.78°C

Quick Mental Conversion

For a rough estimate, subtract 30 then halve. For example, 118 °F: minus 30 is 88, halved is 44. The exact answer is 47.78 °C.
