Sometimes you need to convert a number of inches into an equal number composed of feet and inches. The basic arithmetic for computing the unknown figure is to divide the number of inches by twelve (12). Apply the remainder of the computation as leftover inches. For example: 49 inches ÷ 12 = 4 with a remainder of 1. So 49 inches is 4 feet and 1 inch. The tool below will help do this computation for you!
