# Revolutions per minute to Hertz Converter

Enter a value in revolutions per minute to get its equivalent in hertz. Use the inverse button to switch conversion direction.

## Input data

- **Revolutions per minute** - type: number; default: 1; step: 0.01

## How it works

Hz = rpm ÷ 60.

## Quick examples

- **1 rpm → 0.016667 Hz** - Revolutions per minute: 1
- **50 rpm → 0.833333 Hz** - Revolutions per minute: 50
- **3000 rpm → 50 Hz** - Revolutions per minute: 3000

## Understanding your result

The result expresses the value entered in revolutions per minute as hertz. The factor of 60 assumes one cycle is one full revolution. Check that this is how your source defines its hertz value.
