This method is simple, accurate and easy to remember.
1/ Take the Fahrenheit temperature and add 40.
2/ Multiply by 5/9 (you can remember this because there are fewer degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water on the Celsius scale)
3/ Subtract 40 = 18.88888888888888889, the correct answer.
You can use the same method in the opposite direction except you multiply by 9/5 (going to the larger scale)
This works because the two scales share the same point at -40 degrees

Try this chart:
http://www.onlineconversion.com/temperature.htm
66 degree Fahrenheit = 18.8888889 degree Celsius
How to do it mathematically:
Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32); Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
For example, suppose you have a Fahrenheit temperature of 98.6 degrees and you wanted to convert it into degrees on the Celsius scale. Using the above formula, you would first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and get 66.6 as a result. Then you multiply 66.6 by five-ninths and get the converted value of 37 degrees Celsius.
Below is the formula to convert a Celsius scale temperature into degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
Tf = (9/5)*Tc+32; Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
Assume that you have a Celsius scale temperature of 100 degrees and you wish to convert it into degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. Using the stated formula, you first multiply the Celsius scale temperature reading by nine-fifths and get a result of 180. Then add 32 to 180 and get the final converted result of 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
Below is another accepted conversion method that works just as well and perhaps might be easier to remember. No matter which direction you want to covert, Fahrenheit to Celsius or Celsius to Fahrenheit, always first add 40 to the number. Next, multiply by 5/9 or 9/5 just like the first method. Then, always subtract out the 40 you just added to yield the final result. To remember whether to use 5/9 or 9/5 when converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius or Celsius to Fahrenheit, just simply remember, F (for Fahrenheit) begins with the same letter as Fraction. 5/9 is always a Fraction; while 9/5 is also a fraction, in this form, it is Clearly a whole number plus a fraction (1 and 4/5). Thus, if you want to convert Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C), then use the Fraction 5/9; Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F), use the other, 9/5, which is Clearly not just a fraction.

66 degrees Fahrenheit = 18.8888889 degrees Celsius
A very good , easy and fast way for conversion online is google.
In the google Search box just type "66 degrees fahrenheit in celsius" and click on search and it will give u the results! It can be also used for either kind of conversions like miles to km, km to miles, inches to cm , pounds to kg etc. etc.

First, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9. So you get 18.9 degrees Celsius.

First subtract 32º = 34
Then divide by 9 = 3.78
Finally multiply by 5 = 18.9, rounded off 19º.
Easy!

c=(f-32)100/180
hence,
c=(66-32)100/180
c=3400/180
c=18.8889
