How to Convert Degrees per Second to Cycles per Second

To convert a measurement in degrees per second to a measurement in cycles per second, divide the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 360 degrees per second/cycle per second.

Since one cycle per second is equal to 360 degrees per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:

cycles per second = degrees per second ÷ 360

The frequency in cycles per second is equal to the frequency in degrees per second divided by 360.

For example, here's how to convert 500 degrees per second to cycles per second using the formula above.
cycles per second = (500 °/s ÷ 360) = 1.388889 cps

Degrees per second and cycles per second are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Are Degrees per Second?

Degrees per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in orientation or angle of an object in degrees per second.

Degrees per second can be abbreviated as °/s; for example, 1 degree per second can be written as 1 °/s.

In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[1] For example, °/s is expressing a change in angle relative to a change in time.

What Are Cycles per Second?

Cycles per second are a measure of the number of oscillations, or cycles, that occur per second.

Cycles per second can be abbreviated as cps, and are also sometimes abbreviated as c/s or cycles/second. For example, 1 cycle per second can be written as 1 cps, 1 c/s, or 1 cycles/second.

Cycles per second can be expressed using the formula: cps = Cycles / Times
