# 212 °F to °C

**212 degrees Fahrenheit in degrees Celsius: 212 °F = 100 °C**

°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9

212 degrees Fahrenheit is 100 degrees Celsius. To get there, use °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.

## How the conversion works

The relationship is °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Both units measure temperature, so the conversion is a fixed formula that never changes. Temperature scales are the one common case where converting is not just multiplication — Celsius and Fahrenheit each put their zero in a different place, so an offset is applied as well as a scale factor.
