Formula and reverse conversion

The formula

To convert by hand: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Going back the other way, one °F is -17.22222222 °C.

Why you cannot just multiply

Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin start counting from different points, so a temperature is converted with a formula rather than a factor. That is why −40 is the same number in Celsius and Fahrenheit, and why a difference between two temperatures converts differently from a temperature itself.

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
