Divide Feet and Inches: Learn

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, this is how to divide feet and inches:

  • Convert feet-and-inches amounts to inches only. To do so, multiply the feet by 16 and add the inches.
  • Divide.
  • Convert the inches back to feet and inches by dividing by 16.
  • The quotient is the number of feet and the remainder is the number of inches.

Example: Divide 10 feet 0 inches by 4:

  • 10*12+0 = 120 inches
  • 120÷4 = 30 inches
  • 30÷12 = 2R6
  • Final answer: 2 feet 6 inches
