How to use this converter
- Enter value, from, to.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Convert to the base unit, then divide by the target factor. One full turn is 360 degrees, 2π radians or 400 gradians.
A WORKED EXAMPLE
180 degrees = π radians = 0.5 turns.
What to keep in mind
Negative and multi-turn angles are preserved; the result is not normalized into a single rotation.
Common questions
Does it wrap 450 degrees to 90?
No. It preserves the full angle; 450 degrees equals 1.25 turns.
What is a radian?
An angle of one radian subtends an arc equal in length to the circle radius.
