Revolutions per second to Revolutions per minute formula and what each symbol means
rpm = rev/s × 60
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| rev/s | Revolution per second |
| rpm | Revolution per minute |
Revolutions per second to Revolutions per minute examples
1 rev/s
1 rev/s × 60 = 60 rpm.
10 rev/s
10 rev/s × 60 = 600 rpm.
100 rev/s
100 rev/s × 60 = 6,000 rpm.
Revolutions per second compared with Revolutions per minute
One rev/s is 60 times as large as one rpm, so your number gets bigger when you convert revolutions per second to revolutions per minute and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About revolutions per second and revolutions per minute
Revolution per second (rev/s): Revolutions per second, numerically equal to frequency in hertz. Revolution per minute (rpm): Revolutions per minute, the usual rating for engines, motors and drives.
How to calculate Revolutions per second to Revolutions per minute step by step
- Enter the value in rev/s (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 60, because 1 rev/s = 60 rpm.
- The product is the value in rpm. To go back, divide by 60 or multiply by 0.01666667.

Common mistakes when calculating Revolutions per second to Revolutions per minute
- Forgetting that trigonometric functions in most software expect radians, not degrees.
- Dividing when you should multiply: from rev/s to rpm multiply by 60; from rpm to rev/s divide by 60.
Revolutions per second to Revolutions per minute FAQ
How many rpm are in 1 rev/s?
1 rev/s equals 60 rpm.
How many rev/s are in 1 rpm?
1 rpm equals 0.01666667 rev/s.
Is 1 rev/s = 60 rpm an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (60). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a revolution per minute (rpm)?
Revolutions per minute, the usual rating for engines, motors and drives.
How can I estimate revolutions per second to revolutions per minute in my head?
One rev/s is 60 times as large as one rpm, so your number gets bigger when you convert revolutions per second to revolutions per minute and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
What is 25 rev/s in revolutions per minute?
25 rev/s = 1,500 rpm (since 25 × 60).
What is 80 rev/s in revolutions per minute?
80 rev/s = 4,800 rpm (since 80 × 60).
What is 500 rev/s in revolutions per minute?
500 rev/s = 30,000 rpm (since 500 × 60).
How many decimals should I keep when converting rev/s to rpm?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 600 rpm rounds to 600 rpm at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
