# Degrees to Arcminutes (° to ′)

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

- Page id: `degrees-to-arcminutes` · Quantity: Angle (`angle`, base unit rad) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/degrees-to-arcminutes · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/degrees-to-arcminutes.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/degrees-to-arcminutes.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 ° = 60 ′`
- `arcminutes = degrees × 60`
- Reverse: `degrees = arcminutes × 0.01666666667`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 ° = 300 ′
- 12.5 ° = 750 ′
- 100 ° = 6000 ′

## 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.
