400 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius

The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales are both used to measure temperature. In the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing and boiling points of water differ by 180 degrees while there is a range of 100 degrees apart in the Celsius scale. Although the two scales are used to measure temperature, they start with a different reading and rise at different rates. When the Fahrenheit scale reads 400°F, the Celsius scale will be at -204.444°C. The primary difference between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scale originates from the unit size i.e. the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water gives the Fahrenheit scale a unit size of 180 degrees apart while the Celsius scale differs by 100 degrees apart.

To determine the calculation of 400 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius;

180/100 can be simplified as 9/5 whereas 100/180 can be simplified as 5/9.

If you want to get the temperature in degrees Celsius, we subtract 32 from the temperature reading in degrees Fahrenheit. Multiply by 5/9 to determine the reading.
