Temperature difference conversion

3 units, with K as the base. Every value in the factor table is the number you multiply by, so reading across a row converts out of that unit and reading down a column converts into it. For converting a reading such as 20 °C, see the temperature conversion formulas.

Factor table

Temperature difference conversion factors. Each cell is the value to multiply the row unit by to get the column unit.
from \ to K°C°F
K 1 1 1.8
°C 1 1 1.8
°F 0.555556 0.555556 1

The values are facts and free to use; this table’s selection and presentation are © 2026 ScienceQuest.

Worked example

  1. 1 °F in K
  2. = 1 × 0.555556
  3. = 0.555556 K

Convert a number

The table gives the factor; the unit converter does the arithmetic, remembers the units you picked, and turns any conversion into a link you can share.
