How to convert degrees per second to revolutions per minute
To convert degrees per second to revolutions per minute, multiply the number of degrees per second by about 0.1666666667.
Formula
rpm = °/s × 0.1666666667
The factor is rounded here. The calculator uses the exact value.
Examples
- 5 °/s = 5 × 0.1666666667 ≈ 0.8333333333 rpm
- 25 °/s = 25 × 0.1666666667 ≈ 4.166666667 rpm
- 100 °/s = 100 × 0.1666666667 ≈ 16.66666667 rpm
