How to Convert Arcminutes to Sextants

  1. Understand the relationship between units:
    • 1 circle = 360 degrees
    • 1 degree = 60 arcminutes
    • 1 circle = 6 sextants
  2. Combine these relationships:
    • 1 sextant = 360 ÷ 6 degrees
    • 1 sextant = 60 degrees
    • 1 sextant = 60 degrees × 60 arcminutes per degree
  3. Calculate the total number of arcminutes in one sextant:
    • 1 sextant = 60 × 60 arcminutes
    • 1 sextant = 3600 arcminutes
  4. Convert arcminutes to sextants:
    • To convert from arcminutes to sextants, you divide the number of arcminutes by 3600.
    • sextants = arcminutes ÷ 3600

Example

  • Convert 7200 arcminutes to sextants:
    • sextants = 7200 arcminutes ÷ 3600
    • sextants = 2

That’s it! You now know how to convert arcminutes to sextants.
