How to Convert Revolution to Degree
- 1 rev = 360 °
- 1 ° = 0.002777777778 rev
- Example: convert 15 rev to °: 15 rev = 15 × 360 ° = 5400 °
Formula
° = rev × 360
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 revolution = 2π rad = 360°.
- 1° = π/180 rad exactly; a full turn is 360°.
- 1 rev = 6.28318530718 rad ÷ 0.01745329251994 rad per ° = 360 °
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Revolution definition: revolution; Degree definition: degree.
Worked examples
- A reading of 1 rev converts to 360 °.
1 rev × 360 = 360 ° - A value of 3 rev is 1080 °.
3 rev × 360 = 1080 °
