Centigrade and Fahrenheit Scales The value of the Centigrade degree is 1.8 times that of the Fahrenheit degree. Hence to convert ° C. to 0 F. multiply by 1.8 and then add 32° (since 0° C. = 32° F.) To convert 0 F. to ° C., the process is reversed: Subtract 32°, then divide by 1.8. Correction for Emergent Stem Unless
