Height is often given in feet and inches on US forms, clothing size charts and dating profiles, written like 5′3″ (5 feet 3 inches). 160 cm converts to about 62.99 inches, which is 5 feet and 3.0 inches, usually written 5′3″; as decimal feet it is about 5.25 ft.
Formula: ft = cm ÷ 30.48, in = cm ÷ 2.54. Example: 160 cm = 5.25 ft. Table values are rounded to two decimal places (one for temperatures); use the converter above for more precision.
To convert a height, divide centimeters by 2.54 to get total inches, then divide by 12: the whole number is feet and the remainder is inches. Because a foot has 12 inches, 5.25 ft is not “5 feet 2.5 inches” but 5 feet 3 inches, so check which format a form expects.
