The circumference of a circle is a little more than 3 times the diameter, so for a rough, approximate conversion, multiply the diameter by 3.
For a better conversion, multiply the diameter by π instead. π is a the Greek letter whose name sounds like 'pie'. It is often written 'pi' instead of π. π cannot be written down absolutely accurately, but you can make your conversion more and more accurate by using more and more accurate values for π.
Here are some values for π in order of increasing accuracy,
3.1
3.14
3.142
3.1416
3.14159
3.141593

What is the formula for the circumference of a circle from the area?
In order to convert the area of a circle to the circumference of the circle, divide by the radius and multiply by two. The formula for the circumference of a circle is pi times the diameter.
How do you figure out diameter and circumference?
Circumference is pi times diameter. Diameter is circumference divided by pi. Diameter is twice the radius. Radius is half the diameter.
How do you find the diameter from the circumference?
Diameter = Circumference/pi
What is the equation to get the diameter from the circumference?
Since the circumference is Pi times the diameter then divide the circumference by Pi (3.14159) to get the diameter
Find the diameter of a circle if the circumference is 24.5?
Circumference = diameter(pi) so divide the circumference by pi to get the diameter.
How do you convert circumference in inches to diameter in inches?
You divide the circumference by pi or 3.14.
How do you convert diameter into circumference?
To Find Diameter:Multiply circumference by 0.3183, ordivide circumference by 3.1416Other things to do with circles:To find Circumference:Multiply diameter by 3.1416, ordivide diameter by 0.3183To Find Radius:Divide diameter by 2, ormultiply circumference by 0.15915, ordivide circumference by 6.28318
How do you convert circumfrence into diameter?
Divide the circumference by Pi (3.1416)
How do you get diameter from circumference?
Circumference is Pi x Diameter so do Circumference divided by Pi to get the diameter :)
What is the formula for the circumference of a circle from the area?

How do you figure out diameter and circumference?
Circumference is pi times diameter. Diameter is circumference divided by pi. Diameter is twice the radius. Radius is half the diameter.
How do you find the diameter from the circumference?
Diameter = Circumference/pi
If you have your circumference how do you find the diameter?
diameter = circumference/pi
What is the diameter of a 12cm circle?
using the formula circumference=diameter X pi: circumference=diameter X pi circumference/pi=diamter X pi/pi circumference/pi=diameter therefore, diameter=circumference/pi diameter=12mm/3.14 diameter=3.821mm
What is the equation to get the diameter from the circumference?
Since the circumference is Pi times the diameter then divide the circumference by Pi (3.14159) to get the diameter
What is the circumference of A 13.5 Diameter circle?
The circumference of a 13.5 diameter circle is: 42.41(diameter x pi = circumference).
If a circle has a circumference of 8 what is the diameter?
If a circle has a circumference of 8 the diameter is: about 2.546 (circumference divided by pi = diameter).
