5 °F in °C Formula
The 5 Fahrenheit to Celsius formula is: [°C] = ([5] − 32) x 5 ⁄ 9. Therefore, we get:
5 °F in °C = -15 Celsius
5 F in C = -15 degrees Celsius
As a side note: the unit of temperature Fahrenheit is named after the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.
In turn, the unit for temperature Celsius is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius.
Next, we explain the math.
5 °Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion
To convert Fahrenheit start by deducting 32 from 5.
Then multiply -27 by 5 over 9 to obtain -15 degrees Celsius.
Easier, however, is using our converter above.

What is 0 Degrees in Fahrenheit to Celsius?
So far we have used the exact formula to change 5 °F to Celsius.
However, in daily life the approximation formula explained on our home page is sometimes suffice.
With that the approximate Celsius temperature is (5 – 30) / 2 = -12.5 °C.
In any case, a precise thermometer which displays both temperature units is recommended.
Additional Information
Temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and Temperatures in degrees Celsius mean the same if the word degree is omitted.
Thus: 5 Fahrenheit= 5 degrees Fahrenheit, 5 degrees Celsius = 5 Celsius.
5 Fahrenheit in other temperature units is:
- Newton: -4.95 °N
- Kelvin: 258.15 K
- Réaumur: -12 °Ré
- Rømer: -0.375 °Ro
- Delisle: 172.5 °De
- Rankine: 464.67 °R
Ambient temperatures, such as a refrigerator temperature or the human body temperature for instance, are usually expressed in °F or °C.
In contrast, the absolute temperature stipulated by Lord Kelvin is mainly used for scientific purposes.
