Convert 5.2 feet 4 inches to centimeters

5.2'4" = 168.656 cm

A foot is exactly 30.48 cm and an inch exactly 2.54 cm, so multiply each part and add them up: 5.2 feet 4 inches = 168.656 cm.

Divide by 2.54 to get the total inches, then divide that by 12: the whole part is the feet and the remainder is the inches. That takes 168.656 cm back to 5.2 feet 4 inches.

Exact. The inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 cm since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, and a foot as twelve of them, so converting 5.2 feet 4 inches introduces no approximation.
