How do you convert revolutions to degrees?

To convert revolutions (rev) to degrees (°), multiply the angle in revolutions by 360 (degrees = revolutions × 360).

What is 5 revolutions in degrees?

5 revolutions (5 rev) is equal to 1,800 degrees (1,800 °).

Which is larger, 1 revolution (turn) (rev) or 1 degree (°)?

One revolution (turn) (rev) is larger than one degree (°). Specifically, 1 rev contains 360 °, whereas 1 ° is 0.00277777 rev.

How do I convert back from degrees (°) to revolutions (rev)?

To reverse the calculation from ° to rev, multiply your degree value by the inverse factor 0.00277777 (or divide by 360). You can also click the Swap button in the tool above to flip directions in one click.

How many decimal places should I round rev to ° results to?

For everyday comparisons and quick estimates, rounding to 2 decimal places is usually sufficient (for example, 5 rev ≈ 1,800.00 °). For engineering, laboratory, or machining specifications, select 4 or 6 decimals—or Scientific (10ⁿ) mode—in the calculator toolbar above.

How to Convert Revolutions to Degrees

To convert revolutions to degrees, multiply the angle by the following conversion ratio: 360 degrees/revolution.

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

degrees = revolutions × 360

The angle in degrees is equal to the angle in revolutions multiplied by 360.

For example, here's how to convert 5 revolutions to degrees using the formula above.

degrees = (5 rev × 360) = 1,800 °

How Many Degrees Are in a Revolution?

There are 360 degrees in a revolution, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 rev = 360 °|1 ° = 0.0027778 rev

Our revolution to degree calculator automatically converts your angle measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Revolutions and degrees are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

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). [1]

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.

What Is a Degree?

1/360 of a full circle. It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring angle across scientific and practical applications. [2]

The degree is classified as a standard unit of angle. Degrees can be abbreviated as °; for example, 1 degree can be written as 1 °.

As the primary coherent reference unit for angle in this category, all other angle units are mathematically anchored to the degree (°).

In practice, degrees (°) are widely used across standard angle applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting angle between revolutions (rev) and degrees (°), keep full floating-point precision (1 rev = 360 °; 1 ° = 0.0027778 rev) during intermediate calculations and round only the final degree figure to match your instrument tolerance.
