Convert degrees to arcminutes: 1 ° = 60 ′. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

Formula

1 ° = 60 ′

arcminutes = degrees × 60 — reverse: degrees = arcminutes × 0.01666666667

The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: rad) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

FAQ

How many arcminutes are in one degree?

1 ° = 60 ′. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

What is the formula to convert degrees to arcminutes?

Multiply the value in degrees by 60: arcminutes = degrees × 60. For example, 5 ° = 300 ′.

How do I convert arcminutes back to degrees?

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.01666666667 (degrees = arcminutes × 0.01666666667), or use the arcminutes-to-degrees page.
