0 cm = going from the step formula.

Step formula per DIN 18065: 2 × rise + going = 63 cm. Target rise: 17.5 cm.

Number of steps

16steps

16

For a 280 cm floor-to-floor height, 16 steps fit: rise 17.5 cm, going 26.67 cm, pace 61.67 cm – DIN 18065 is met.

How this was calculated
s = 280 cm ÷ 16 = 17.5 cm
a = 400 cm ÷ (16 − 1) = 26.67 cm
Pace measurement = 2 × 17.5 cm + 26.67 cm = 61.67 cm

The number of steps follows from the target rise of 17.5 cm; the going from run ÷ (steps − 1). With a fixed run, one step more or less often restores DIN compliance.
