212 °F = 100 °C
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
212 °F is also
°F
100 °C

Formula and Step-by-Step

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
  1. Start with 212°F
  2. Subtract 32: 212 - 32 = 180
  3. Multiply by 5/9: 180 × 0.5556 = 100
  4. Result: 212°F = 100°C

Quick Mental Conversion

For a rough estimate, subtract 30 then halve. For example, 212 °F: minus 30 is 182, halved is 91. The exact answer is 100 °C.
