Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert radians to degrees?
Multiply the radian value by 180/π. For example, π radians equals 180°, and 1 radian is approximately 57.2958°. This calculator uses the exact conversion factor π radians = 180°.
What is the formula for degrees to radians?
Multiply the degree value by π/180. For instance, 180° equals π radians, and 90° equals π/2 radians. The calculator applies this formula automatically.
Can I convert any angle value?
Yes, you can enter any positive or negative numeric value. The calculator works for all real numbers, including fractional and decimal angles.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tips

  • Remember that π radians equals 180°, so 2π radians is a full circle (360°).
  • For quick mental conversion, multiply radians by 57.2958 to get degrees.
  • Use the calculator to verify your manual calculations, especially with fractional π values.
  • When entering negative angles, the calculator handles them correctly for both directions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to multiply by 180/π when converting radians to degrees, leading to incorrect results.
  • Using 3.14 instead of π, which introduces rounding errors; the calculator uses the exact π value.
  • Confusing the conversion direction: degrees to radians uses π/180, not 180/π.
