  1. 1 ″ = 7.71604938272e-7 rev
  2. 1 × 7.71604938272e-7 = 7.71604938272e-7 rev

How to convert seconds of arc to revolutions

1 rev = 1,296,000 ″, so divide by 1,296,000 to go from seconds of arc to revolutions (turns) (1 ″ = 7.71604938272 × 10⁻⁷ rev).

rev = ″ ÷ 1,296,000
″ = rev × 1,296,000

Worked example:

1 ″ = 7.71604938272e-7 rev
5 × 7.71604938272e-7 = 3.85802469136e-6 rev

About the units

Seconds of Arc (″)
Seconds of arc, a metric unit. Involves π, which no fraction equals exactly; this converter uses π to 50 significant digits, far beyond the 12 digits shown. Definition: BIPM SI Brochure, 9th edition (SI units, prefixes and units accepted for use with the SI).
Revolutions (rev)
Revolutions (turns), a specialised unit. Involves π, which no fraction equals exactly; this converter uses π to 50 significant digits, far beyond the 12 digits shown. Definition: NIST SP 811 Appendix B.8, factors for units listed alphabetically.
