The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:

$$F = \left( C \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32$$

...or divide by 5, then multiply by 9, then add 32

The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

$$C = \left( F - 32 \right) \times \frac{5}{9}$$

...or subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9
