Degrees to Arcminutes
A degree divides a full circle into 360 parts, the everyday unit for angles, compass headings, and geographic coordinates. An arcminute is 1/60 of a degree, used in astronomy and navigation to express small angular measurements. 1 deg equals 60 arcmin, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to angle, measured here against angle's base unit (rad) — every other angle unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
arcmin = deg × 60
deg = arcmin × ≈0.0166667
Worked example: 5 deg × 60 = 300 arcmin.
