1 RPM = 0.0167 RPS
Full precision:0.01666669 RPS
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 rpm to rps, we divide by 59.9999 because one revolution per second equals exactly 59.9999 rpm.
1 revolution per second = 59.9999 rpm
Since there are 59.9999 rpm in every revolution per second, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.0167 rps
So 1 rpm = 0.0167 rps.
Quick check: 0.0167 × 59.9999 = 1 rpm
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 RPM = 0.0167 RPS
1 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.0167
1 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.0167
Example 2: 5 RPM = 0.0833 RPS
5 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.0833
5 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.0833
Example 3: 10 RPM = 0.1667 RPS
10 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.1667
10 ÷ 59.9999 = 0.1667
