How to Convert Sextants to Arcminutes

  1. Understand the relationship between units:

    • 1 circle = 6 sextants
    • 1 degree = 60 arcminutes
  2. Combine these relationships:
    • 1 sextant = 360 ÷ 6 degrees
    • 1 sextant = 60 degrees
    • 1 sextant = 60 degrees × 60 arcminutes per degree
    • 1 sextant = 3600 arcminutes
  3. Convert sextants to arcminutes:
    • To convert sextants to arcminutes, multiply the number of sextants by 3600.
    • arcminutes = sextants × 3600

Example
