98.6°F equals 37°C — the average human body temperature. The formula is: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.

Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). Example: 77°F → (77 − 32) × 5/9 = 25°C.

350°F equals 177°C. Other common oven conversions: 325°F = 163°C, 400°F = 204°C, 450°F = 232°C.
