How to Convert Height
Feet/Inches to Centimeters
cm = (ft × 12 + in) × 2.54Example: 5'10" = (5×12 + 10) × 2.54 = 177.8 cm
Centimeters to Feet/Inches
ft = floor(cm / 30.48)in = (remainder) × 12Example: 178 cm / 30.48 = 5.84 ft → 5' + (0.84×12) = 5'10"

Tips & Best Practices
1 foot is exactly 30.48 centimeters.
1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters.
The average human height globally is approximately 170cm (5'7") for men and 159cm (5'3") for women.
When measuring height at home, stand against a flat wall without shoes and keep your head level (Frankfort plane).
Pediatric measurements for infants (0-24 months) are usually taken lying down and called "length".
