Convert Temperature
Use the formula matching the source and target scales. Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale.
Formula: C = (F − 32) × 5/9; F = C × 9/5 + 32; K = C + 273.15
Apply the factor to the original quantity and keep the source and result units visible. Reversing the factor is the most common conversion mistake.
Example: compare the result for 1 source unit with the factor shown in the formula. If the direction is correct, the converted unit should match the calculator label.
