Concept introduction:

Temperature is defined as the measure of hotness and coldness of something.

The formula used to convert ${}^{\text{o}}\text{F}$ into ${}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ is as follows:

$\left({}^{\text{o}}\text{F}-32\right)\times 5/9{=}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$

Unit conversion is defined as the process in which multiple steps are used to convert the unit of measurement for the same given quantity. It is determined by multiplication with a conversion factor.

The fraction in which numerator and denominator are the same quantities but are determined in different units, is known as a conversion factor.
