98.6°F equals 37°C.
All four conversions at once: 37°C, 98.6°F, 310.15K, 558.27°R.
The Fahrenheit-to-Celsius formula subtracts 32 first (to align freezing points) then scales by 5/9, because 180 Fahrenheit degrees span the same range as 100 Celsius degrees.
Kelvin and Rankine are absolute scales: zero means no thermal energy at all. Kelvin uses Celsius-size degrees; Rankine uses Fahrenheit-size degrees.
The two relative scales (°F and °C) cross at exactly -40: -40°F = -40°C.
Next stepTo convert back, multiply by 9/5 and add 32: C x 9/5 + 32.
