Definition of Meter

A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during 1/299,792,458 a second.

Definition of Feet

A foot is a unit of length defined as 0.3048m strictly and used in the British imperial system of units and United States customary units. It is subdivided into 12 inches and is called an international foot.

Step 1

Convert from meters to feet

1 meter = 3.28 x feet, so,
1.72 x 1 meter = 1.72 x 3.28 feet, or
1.72 meters = 5.64 feet.

Step 2

Convert the decimal feet to inches

An answer like “5.64 feet” might not mean much to you because you may want to express the decimal part, which is in feet, in inches once it is a smaller unit.
So, take everything after the decimal point (0.64), then multiply that by 12 to turn it into inches. It works because one foot = 12 inches. Then,
5.64 feet = 5 feet + 0.64 foot. Once 0.64 foot x 12 = 7.68 inches or 5.64 feet = 5 feet and 7.68 inches. This is equivalent to 1.72 meters.

Step 3

Convert from decimal inches to a usable fraction of inch

The previous step gave you the answer in decimal inches (7.68), but how to measure it with a ruler or tape? See below a procedure, which can also be made using a calculator, to convert the decimal inches to the nearest usable fraction:

Subtract 7, the number of whole inches, from 7.68:

7.68 – 7 = 0.68. It is the fractional part of the inch value.

Multiply 0.68 times 16 (it could be 8, 16, 32, 64, depending on the exactness you want) to get the number of 16th inches:

0.68 x 16 = 10.88. It is the number of 16ths of an inch and the fraction’s numerator, which may be still reduced.

Round the result to the nearest integer:

round(10.88) = 11
Finally, 1.72 meters = 5 feet and 11/16 of an inch.

In short: 1.72 m = 5’7 11/16″(*)

1.72 Meters to Feet Conversion breakdown and explanation

1.72 m to ft conversion result above is displayed in three different forms: as a decimal (which could be rounded), in scientific notation (scientific form, standard index form or standard form in the United Kingdom) and as a fraction (exact result). Every display form has its advantages, and in different situations, a particular state is more convenient than another.

For example, usage of scientific notation when working with big numbers is recommended due to more effortless reading and comprehension. The use of fractions is recommended when more precision is needed.

If we want to calculate how many Feet are 1.72 m, we have to multiply 1.72 by 1250 and divide the product by 381. So for 1.72 we have: (1.72 × 1250) ÷ 381 = 2150 ÷ 381 = 5.6430446194226 Feet

So finally 1.72 m = 5.6430446194226 ft
