How to Convert Arcseconds to Arcminutes

Conversion factor:

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

Inverse factor:

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

Example

Convert 15 arcsec to arcmin:

arcmin=arcsec×0.01667\text{arcmin} = \text{arcsec} \times 0.01667
arcmin=15×0.01667\text{arcmin} = 15 \times 0.01667
arcmin=0.25\text{arcmin} = 0.25
=0.25 arcmin= 0.25 \, \text{arcmin}
