How to Convert Arcminutes to Arcseconds

Conversion factor:

1 arcmin=60 arcsec1\,\text{arcmin} = 60\,\text{arcsec}

Inverse factor:

1 arcsec=0.01667 arcmin1\,\text{arcsec} = 0.01667\,\text{arcmin}

Example

Convert 15 arcmin to arcsec:

arcsec=arcmin×60\text{arcsec} = \text{arcmin} \times 60
arcsec=15×60\text{arcsec} = 15 \times 60
arcsec=900\text{arcsec} = 900
=900 arcsec= 900 \, \text{arcsec}
