Converting degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit is a multiplication by a fixed factor: 1 °C = 33.8 °F. The table below covers the values people look up most often, and the formula section shows exactly where that factor comes from.
Weather, cooking and lab work are the three everyday sources: a forecast written in degrees Celsius against a thermostat set in degrees Fahrenheit, and a lab protocol that fixes a point on one scale while a log records the other.
Kelvin and the degree scales differ by an offset, not a ratio: 32 °F corresponds to 0 °C, so the arithmetic is a shift plus a scale step. That offset is also why a small rounding error in celsius can look alarming once it is restated in fahrenheit — the number you see is the sum of two operations, not one.
Degrees Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit formula
Use this formula to convert any celsius value to degrees Fahrenheit:
Worked example: 100 °C × 33.8 = 212 °F.

How to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
Multiply the celsius value by 33.8 to get the equivalent in degrees Fahrenheit. This single factor works for every value in the table above and for anything else you need — there is no per-value adjustment, which is why a conversion table and a calculator always agree.
If you need the opposite direction, use the Degrees Fahrenheit to Degrees Celsius converter instead of dividing by hand; both pages use the same source factors. For every other °C conversion in one place, see the °C conversion hub.
