Convert Radian to Degree (rad to deg)

Instant precision conversion from Radian (rad) to Degree (deg) in Angle.

⚡ Direct Answer: 1 rad to deg

1 Radian (rad) equals approximately 57.29578 Degree (deg).

Formula: deg ≈ rad × 57.29577951

To convert from Radian to Degree, multiply the quantity by approximately 57.29578 (or divide by approximately 0.017453).

📐 How Radian (rad) and Degree (deg) Relate

In metrology, angle quantifies planar angular separation and circular rotation. Within this domain, Radian (rad) and Degree (deg) originate from Sexagesimal degrees (360°), radians ($2\pi$), gradians (400 gon), and arcminutes. Standardized under ISO 80000-3 with $\pi$ radians spanning a 180-degree half-circle.

Because both Radian and Degree belong to the linear angle domain, conversion between them is strictly proportional. The exact conversion factor (57.29577951) guarantees zero precision drift across mathematical calculations.
