170 cm = 5 ft 6.9 in — also written 5'6.9". Rounded to the nearest eighth of an inch it is 5 ft 6⅞ in. In total that is 66.9291 inches, and in decimal feet it is 5.57743 ft (note that decimal feet are not the same notation as feet-and-inches).
Divide by 2.54 to get total inches, because 1 inch is exactly 2.54 cm: 170 ÷ 2.54 = 66.9291 inches. Then split the inches into feet and inches by dividing by 12: the whole number is the feet (5) and the remainder is the inches (6.9). So 170 cm = 5 ft 6.9 in. The converter at the top of this page is preset to 170 cm — change the value to convert any other height.
