Revolutions per minute to Hertz

1 revolution per minute = 0.016667 hertz · 1 Hz = 60 rpm

1 revolution per minute = 0.016667 hertz

How it’s calculated

Hz = rpm ÷ 60

  • Divide the value in revolutions per minute by 60.
  • Equivalently, multiply by 0.01666666667.
  • 1 rpm = 0.01666666667 Hz · 1 Hz = 60 rpm

  1. Find the conversion factor

    By definition 1 Hz = 60 rpm. Source: NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44; BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.).

  2. Multiply by the factor written as a fraction

    Put rpm in the denominator so it cancels, leaving Hz.

  3. Calculate (unrounded)

  4. Round the answer

    Rounded to 5 significant figures.
