Square Feet to Acres Converter

A Square Feet to Acres converter is a powerful converter that helps you quickly and accurately convert a given area from square feet (sq ft) to acres. This article will explain everything you need to know about Square Feet to Acres conversion with examples.

Definition of Square Feet

A square foot is the unit of land measurement commonly used in the US. It represents the space inside a square where each side is one foot long. To find the area, multiply its length by its width. So, the calculation for a square foot area is 1 foot × 1 foot = 1 square foot (1 ft²). The symbol for square feet is ft², but people also write it as sf, sq ft, or sq ft.

Short definition of an Acre

An acre is another unit of land measurement used in the British imperial system and the US customary system to measure large land areas. An acre is an area measuring 66 feet × 660 feet, which equals 43,560 square feet. An area classified as an acre doesn’t have to be perfectly square or rectangular as long as its total area is 43,560 square feet.

Square Feet to Acre Conversion

To convert an area from square feet (ft²) to acres (ac), you can use the following formula:

Acres = Square Feet/43,560

Since one acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet, dividing any given number of square feet by 43,560 will provide the equivalent area in acres.

Example 1: 100,000 ft² to Acres
100,000/43,560 = 2.2957 acres
100,000 square feet = 2.30 acres.

Example 2: 8,712 ft² to Acres
8,712 /43,560 = 0.2 acres
 8,712 square feet = 0.2 acres.
