How to Convert Degrees to Radians

Formula

To convert degrees to radians, multiply the degree value by π/180. Radians are the standard unit of angular measure in mathematics and physics.

This calculator also shows the result as a multiple of π so you can identify common exact values like π/6, π/4, π/3, and π/2.

Common use cases:

  • Trigonometry calculations requiring radian input
  • Programming math functions that expect radians
  • Physics angular velocity problems
