How to Convert Minutes of Arc to Revolutions

To convert a measurement in minutes of arc to a measurement in revolutions, divide the angle by the following conversion ratio: 21,600 minutes of arc/revolution.

Since one revolution is equal to 21,600 minutes of arc, you can use this simple formula to convert:

revolutions = minutes of arc ÷ 21,600

The angle in revolutions is equal to the angle in minutes of arc divided by 21,600.

For example, here's how to convert 50,000 minutes of arc to revolutions using the formula above.
revolutions = (50,000' ÷ 21,600) = 2.314815 r

Minutes of arc and revolutions are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
