# Fahrenheit to Kelvin Converter

Enter a value in fahrenheit to get its equivalent in kelvin. Use the inverse button to switch conversion direction.

## Input data

- **Fahrenheit** - type: number; default: 32; step: 0.01

## How it works

K = °F × 0.555555555556 + 255.372222222.

## Quick examples

- **32 °F → 273.15 K** - Fahrenheit: 32
- **68 °F → 293.15 K** - Fahrenheit: 68
- **300 °F → 422.038889 K** - Fahrenheit: 300

## Understanding your result

The result expresses the value entered in fahrenheit as kelvin. This conversion uses both a scale factor and an offset; a simple multiplication would give the wrong absolute temperature.
