Revolutions per minute to Degrees per second formula and what each symbol means
°/s = rpm × 6
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| rpm | Revolution per minute |
| °/s | Degree per second |
Revolutions per minute to Degrees per second examples
1 rpm
1 rpm × 6 = 6 °/s.
10 rpm
10 rpm × 6 = 60 °/s.
100 rpm
100 rpm × 6 = 600 °/s.
Revolutions per minute compared with Degrees per second
One rpm is 6 times as large as one °/s, so your number gets bigger when you convert revolutions per minute to degrees per second and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About revolutions per minute and degrees per second
Revolution per minute (rpm): Revolutions per minute, the usual rating for engines, motors and drives. Degree per second (°/s): Degrees turned each second; 360 °/s is one revolution per second.
How to calculate Revolutions per minute to Degrees per second step by step
- Enter the value in rpm (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 6, because 1 rpm = 6 °/s.
- The product is the value in °/s. To go back, divide by 6 or multiply by 0.1666667.

Common mistakes when calculating Revolutions per minute to Degrees per second
- Treating rpm and rad/s as interchangeable: 1 rad/s is about 9.549 rpm.
- Dividing when you should multiply: from rpm to °/s multiply by 6; from °/s to rpm divide by 6.
Revolutions per minute to Degrees per second FAQ
How many °/s are in 1 rpm?
1 rpm equals 6 °/s.
How many rpm are in 1 °/s?
1 °/s equals 0.1666667 rpm.
Is 1 rpm = 6 °/s an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (6). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a degree per second (°/s)?
Degrees turned each second; 360 °/s is one revolution per second.
How can I estimate revolutions per minute to degrees per second in my head?
One rpm is 6 times as large as one °/s, so your number gets bigger when you convert revolutions per minute to degrees per second and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
What is 250 rpm in degrees per second?
250 rpm = 1,500 °/s (since 250 × 6).
What is 7 rpm in degrees per second?
7 rpm = 42 °/s (since 7 × 6).
What is 40 rpm in degrees per second?
40 rpm = 240 °/s (since 40 × 6).
How many decimals should I keep when converting rpm to °/s?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 60 °/s rounds to 60 °/s at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
