This cm to feet and inches converter - free online applies the standard relationship below. Intermediate values are kept at full precision; only the displayed result is rounded.
total inches = cm / 2.54; feet = floor(inches / 12); remainder inches = inches mod 12
For 170 cm: 170 ÷ 2.54 = 66.93 total inches. Divide by 12 to get whole feet (5 ft) and keep the remainder in inches (66.93 − 60 = 6.93 in). So 170 cm is 5 ft 6.93 in, or about 5 ft 7 in.
About 5 ft 7 in depending on rounding of the inch remainder.
