The centimetre (cm) and the foot (ft) are both units of length, but they belong to different measurement systems. The centimetre is part of the metric system, while the foot is used in the imperial and US customary systems.
The Key Constant: 2.54
One inch is defined as exactly 2.54 centimetres. This is the only number you need for any cm-to-feet conversion. To convert any centimetre value to inches, divide by 2.54. To then express that in feet, divide the total inches by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).
