How to Convert Degrees per Second to Hertz
To convert a measurement in degrees per second to a measurement in hertz, divide the frequency by the following conversion ratio: 360 degrees per second/hertz.
Since one hertz is equal to 360 degrees per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
hertz = degrees per second ÷ 360
The frequency in hertz is equal to the frequency in degrees per second divided by 360.
For example, here's how to convert 500 degrees per second to hertz using the formula above.
hertz = (500 °/s ÷ 360) = 1.388889 Hz
Degrees per second and hertz are both units used to measure frequency. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Are Degrees per Second?
Degrees per second are a measure of angular frequency, or rotational speed, equal to the change in orientation or angle of an object in degrees per second.
Degrees per second can be abbreviated as °/s; for example, 1 degree per second can be written as 1 °/s.
In the expressions of units, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to express a change in one or more units relative to a change in one or more other units.[1] For example, °/s is expressing a change in angle relative to a change in time.

What Is a Hertz?
One hertz is formally defined as the frequency of one cycle per second.[2]
The hertz is the SI derived unit for frequency in the metric system. Hertz can be abbreviated as Hz; for example, 1 hertz can be written as 1 Hz.
Frequency in hertz can be expressed using the formula:
Hz = Cycles / Time in Seconds
