The formula for converting a Fahrenheit temperature to a Celsius temperature is:
.

.
If you substitute 104 for F, the equation becomes:
.

.
Inside the parentheses you can subtract 32 from 104 and you get 72. This reduces the equation to:
.

.
Divide the 9 of the denominator into the 72 of the numerator to get 8. The equation then
becomes:
.

.
This tells you that 40 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the process for converting Fahrenheit temperatures to
their corresponding Celsius temperature.
