How many degrees are in a revolution?

1 rev = 360 °. To convert any amount, multiply by 360.

How do you convert revolutions to degrees?

Multiply the number of revolutions by 360 to get degrees. The formula is shown in the "How it's calculated" section above.

Where does the conversion factor come from?

It's a published international standard. Most are defined exactly by international agreement (e.g. 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly, 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly). Source citations are listed under the formula above.

How it's calculated

Convert revolutions to degrees— the formula

Revolutions convert to degrees by multiplying by the published conversion factor. The factor below is exact to the precision shown, sourced from the citation under the formula.

° = rev × 360

rev = ° × 0.002778

Radian: SI coherent derived unit for plane angle (BIPM). 1 full turn = 2π rad = 360° = 400 gon = 1 rev. 1° = 60 arcminutes = 3600 arcseconds (exact, by definition).
