Circumference to Diameter Calculator

The circumference to diameter calculator can help you solve the geometry problem of finding the circumference of a circle by inputting its diameter. This calculator works both ways, so you can also convert a diameter to a circumference.

Diameter and circumference are lengths related to each other — the higher the diameter, the higher the circumference. The circumference to diameter formula connects these variables in a single equation:

c = πd,

where:

• c stands for the circumference;
• d for the diameter; and
• π is the pi number.

If on the other side, you're interested in how to calculate diameter from the circumference, you can solve for d in the above equation:

d = c/π.

Let's look at an example. Suppose you want to find the circumference of a 5 cm diameter circle. These would be the steps to follow:

1. Use the appropriate equation, which, in this case, is the circumference to diameter formula: c = πd.
2. Input the diameter in the equation: c = π × (5 cm) = 15.708 cm.
3. That's it. Also, check your results using our circumference to diameter calculator. Input 5 cm in the diameter box. Your result should also be 15.708 cm.

Now that you know how to find circumference from diameter and vice-versa, you can look at other tools related to circle calculations.

18.8496 feet. To convert diameter to circumference:

1. Take the diameter.
2. Multiply it by the number pi (π).
3. In this case, the circumference equals: π × 6 ft = 18.8496 ft.

Divide the circumference value by the number pi (π), or use the formula d = c/π. That's how you find the circumference of a circle with its diameter.
