Conversion Process
This conversion uses Radian as the base unit. We'll first convert Arcminute to Radian, then convert from Radian to Radian.
Step 1: Convert from Arcminute to Radian
1 × 2.91e-4 = 2.91e-4
Result: 2.91e-4 Radian
Step 2: Convert from Radian to Radian
2.91e-4 × 1 = 2.91e-4
Result: 2.91e-4 Radian
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 3,437.75 = 2.91e-4
Direct conversion: 1 Arcminute = 2.91e-4 Radian
