Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based on standard conversion formulas. For precise conversions, the angles are processed with appropriate mathematical constants.

The Formula Explained

Degrees to Radians: \( R = D \times \frac{\pi}{180} \)

Radians to Degrees: \( D = R \times \frac{180}{\pi} \)

Glossary of Terms

  • Degrees (°): A degree is a measure of angle equal to 1/360 of a full circle.
  • Radians: A radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics.
  • Gradians (gons): A gradian is a unit of angle that divides the circle into 400 parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I convert degrees to radians?

Multiply the number of degrees by π/180 to convert to radians.

What is a radian?

A radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics.

Can I use this converter offline?

This tool requires an internet connection to function as it is a web-based calculator.

Why would I use gradians over degrees?

Gradians are used in some fields where a decimal division is preferred, such as surveying.

What are the limits of conversion?

The conversion tool can handle a wide range of input values, but very large numbers might be subject to rounding errors.
