1 Degree Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion
1°C in Fahrenheit is:
33.8°F
How to Convert 1 Celsius to Fahrenheit: Exact Formula
The standard formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Step-by-Step Calculation for 1°C
- Start with the temperature in Celsius: 1°C
- Multiply by 9/5: 1 × 9/5 = 1 × 1.8 = 1.8
- Add 32: 1.8 + 32 = 33.8
- Result: 1°C = 33.8°F

Medical Temperature Reference: Fever Chart
Understanding temperature measurements is crucial for monitoring health. Here's a reference for body temperatures:
| Condition | Celsius (°C) | Fahrenheit (°F) |
|---|---|---|
| Normal body temperature | 36.5-37.5°C | 97.7-99.5°F |
| Low-grade fever | 37.6-38.0°C | 99.7-100.4°F |
| Moderate fever | 38.1-39.0°C | 100.6-102.2°F |
| High fever | 39.1-41.0°C | 102.4-105.8°F |
| Dangerous fever | >41.0°C | >105.8°F |
| Hypothermia | <35.0°C | <95.0°F |
| 1°C reference | 1.0°C | 33.8°F |
Note: 1°C (33.8°F) is far below normal body temperature and would indicate severe hypothermia, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit quickly?
For a quick approximation, you can use the formula: °F ≈ (°C × 2) + 30. For 1°C, this would be approximately (1 × 2) + 30 = 32°F, which is very close to the exact value of 33.8°F. For precise conversions, always use the exact formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.
Why is the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula so complex?
The Fahrenheit scale was developed based on historical reference points rather than a decimal system. The formula accounts for the different zero points (0°C is freezing water, 32°F is freezing water) and different degree sizes (1°C = 1.8°F). This results in the conversion formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.
At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?
Celsius and Fahrenheit are equal at -40 degrees (-40°C = -40°F). This is the only temperature where both scales show the same numerical value. You can verify this with the conversion formula: (-40 × 9/5) + 32 = -72 + 32 = -40°F.
What is absolute zero in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, is -273.15°C or -459.67°F. At this temperature, all molecular motion stops. Temperature cannot be lower than absolute zero.
