How to Convert Arcminutes to Revolutions
To convert arcminutes to revolutions, multiply the angle by the following conversion ratio: 0.000046296 revolutions/minute of arc.
Since one minute of arc is equal to 0.000046296 revolutions, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angle in revolutions is equal to the angle in arcminutes multiplied by 0.000046296.
For example, here's how to convert 5 arcminutes to revolutions using the formula above.
How Many Revolutions Are in a Minute of Arc?
There are 0.000046296 revolutions in a minute of arc, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

Arcminutes and revolutions are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Minute of Arc?
A minute of arc is a unit of angle equal to 1/60 of a degree (0.0166667 °). 1/60 of a degree. [1]
The minute of arc is classified as a standard unit of angle. Arcminutes can be abbreviated as ′; for example, 1 minute of arc can be written as 1 ′.
When working with arcminutes (′) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, arcminutes (′) are widely used across standard angle applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Revolution?
A revolution is a unit of angle equal to 360 degrees (°), the base unit for angle. Complete 360° circle (2π radians). [2]
The revolution is classified as a standard unit of angle. Revolutions can be abbreviated as rev; for example, 1 revolution can be written as 1 rev.
When working with revolutions (rev) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, revolutions (rev) are widely used across standard angle applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting angle between arcminutes (′) and revolutions (rev), keep full floating-point precision (1 ′ = 0.000046296 rev; 1 rev = 21,600 ′) during intermediate calculations and round only the final revolution figure to match your instrument tolerance.
