=== Between degrees === As stated, one radian is equal to <math>{180^\circ}/{\pi}</math>. Thus, to convert from radians to degrees, multiply by <math>{180^\circ}/{\pi}</math>. :<math> \text{angle in degrees} = \text{angle in radians} \cdot \frac {180^\circ} {\pi}</math> For example: :<math>1 \text{ rad} = 1 \cdot \frac {180^\circ} {\pi} \approx 57.2958^\circ </math> :<math>2.5 \text{ rad} = 2.5 \cdot \frac {180^\circ} {\pi} \approx 143.2394^\circ </math> :<math>\frac {\pi} {3} \text{ rad} = \frac {\pi} {3} \cdot \frac {180^\circ} {\pi} = 60^\circ </math> Conversely, to convert from degrees to radians, multiply by <math>{\pi}/{180} \text{ rad}</math>. :<math> \text{angle in radians} = \text{angle in degrees} \cdot \frac {\pi} {180} \text{ rad}</math> For example: :<math>1^\circ = 1 \cdot \frac {\pi} {180} \text{ rad}\approx 0.0175 \text{ rad}</math> <math>23^\circ = 23 \cdot \frac {\pi} {180} \text{ rad}\approx 0.4014 \text{ rad}</math> Radians can be converted to [[Turn (geometry)|turns]] (one turn is the angle corresponding to a revolution) by dividing the number of radians by 2{{pi}}.
