1.73 meters to feet

How to transform 1.73 m in feet plus inches?

1.73 m equals 5 feet and 8.1 inches.

Step 1

Convert from meters to feet

1 meter = 3.28 x feet, so,

1.73 x 1 meter = 1.73 x 3.28 feet, or

1.73 meters = 5.67 feet.

Step 2

Convert the decimal feet to inches

An answer like “5.67 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 (0.67), then multiply that by 12 to turn it into inches. It works because one foot = 12 inches. Then,

5.67 feet = 5 feet + 0.67 foot. Once 0.67 foot x 12 = 8.04 inches or 5.67 feet = 5 feet and 8.04 inches. It is equivalent to 1.73 meters.

Step 3

Convert from decimal inches to a usable fraction of an inch

The previous step gave you the answer in decimal inches (8.04), 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 8, the number of whole inches, from 8.04:

• 8.04 – 8 = 0.04. It is the fractional part of the inch value.

Multiply 0.04 times 16 (it could be 8, 16, 32, 64, depending on the exactness you want) to get the number of 16th inches:

• 0.04 x 16 = 0.64. It is the number of 16ths of an inch and the fraction’s numerator, which may be still reduced.

Round the result to nearest integer:

• round(0.64) = 1

Finally, 1.73 meters = 5 feet and 1/16 of an inch.

In short: 1.73 m = 5’8 1/16″(*)
