Convert arcminutes to degrees

Result: 1 Arcminute = 0.0166666667 Degree

Explain this result

The calculator converts 1 Arcminute to Degree and formats the result as 0.0166666667 Degree.

  1. 1 Arcminute x 0.0002908882 = 0.0002908882 Radian.
  2. 0.0002908882 Radian / 0.0174532925 = 0.0166666667 Degree.
  3. The direct relationship is 1 Arcminute = 0.0166666667 Degree.

Formula

1 arcmin = 0.0166666667 deg

Arcminutes to Degrees Formula

deg = arcmin ÷ 60
arcmin = deg × 60
1 arcmin = 0.0166666667 deg
1 deg = 60 arcmin

When this angle conversion is useful

  • Switching between degrees and radians for math, spreadsheets, and code.
  • Checking navigation, surveying, graphics, machining, and geometry references.
  • Converting small angular units such as arc minutes and arc seconds when supported.

Rounding angle results

  • Keep more digits when small angular changes affect distance or alignment.
  • Radians often involve pi, so decimal approximations can accumulate error.
  • Use the source convention for surveying, navigation, or coordinate work.

Angle conversion mistakes

  • Entering degrees into a function that expects radians.
  • Reading arc minutes or arc seconds as time units.
  • Rounding small angles too much before using trigonometric functions.
