  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 rad = 57.2957795130823 °. Source: BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.) (SI prefixes and accepted units); NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44.

  2. Multiply by the factor written as a fraction

    Put rad in the denominator so it cancels, leaving °.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.
