An inches to feet converter changes a length in inches into feet and inches. Enter the value to get the result split into whole feet plus any remaining inches.
Both inches and feet are imperial length units, with 12 inches in every foot. Converting between them is a simple divide (inches to feet) or multiply (feet to inches).
Divide inches by 12. The whole-number part is feet; the remainder, multiplied back by 12, is the leftover inches. The converter presents both forms so the result reads naturally.
Divide the number of inches by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot. Any remainder is the leftover inches.
Divide 36 by 12 to get 3 feet. The converter also reports any leftover inches when the value does not divide evenly.
