How to convert hertz to cycles per minute
rpm = Hz × 60Multiply the value in hertz by 60. To go the other way, multiply by 0.01666666667 (or divide by 60).
A hertz is larger than a cycle per minute: one hertz contains 60 cycles per minute.

About the units
Hertz (Hz)
One cycle per second.
Cycle per minute (rpm)
One cycle (or revolution, or beat) per minute. One cycle per minute equals 0.01666666667 hertz (Hz).
Frequently asked questions
How many cycles per minute are in one hertz?
There are 60 cycles per minute in one hertz, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert hertz to cycles per minute?
Multiply the number of hertz by 60. For example, 10 Hz × 60 = 600 rpm.
How many hertz are in one cycle per minute?
One cycle per minute equals 0.01666666667 hertz. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 60.
What is 10 hertz in cycles per minute?
10 Hz = 600 rpm.
Is this Hz to rpm converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
