Formula: cps = rpm × 0.0166666667

Reverse: rpm = cps × 60

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Revolutions/Minute. For example: 5 rpm
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 0.0166666667
The result is: 0.083333 cps

About Revolutions/Minute

The revolutions/minute (rpm) is a unit of frequency. One revolutions/minute equals 0.01666666667 hertzs. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other frequency unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: frequency calculations, engineering and science, education.

About Cycle/Second

The cycle/second (cps) is a unit of frequency. One cycle/second equals 1 hertz. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other frequency unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: frequency calculations, engineering and science, education.
