How to Convert Milliradians to Radians

To convert a milliradian measurement to a radian measurement, divide the angle by the conversion ratio.

Since one radian is equal to 1,000 milliradians, you can use this simple formula to convert:

radians = milliradians ÷ 1,000

The angle in radians is equal to the milliradians divided by 1,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 milliradians to radians using the formula above.

5,000 mrad = (5,000 ÷ 1,000) = 5 rad

What is a Milliradian?

A milliradian is equal to 1/1,000 of a radian. One milliradian is equal to 0.0573 degrees and there are 6,283 milliradians in a full revolution/circle. The milliradian is also a commonly used unit in mathematics.

The milliradian is a multiple of the radian, which is the SI derived unit for angle. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10^-3. A milliradian is sometimes also referred to as a mil. Milliradians can be abbreviated as mrad; for example, 1 milliradian can be written as 1 mrad.

What is a Radian?

A radian is the measurement of angle equal to the start to the end of an arc divided by the radius of the circle or arc.^[1] 1 radian is equal to 180/π, or about 57.29578°. There are about 6.28318 radians in a circle.

The radian is the SI derived unit for angle in the metric system. Radians can be abbreviated as rad, and are also sometimes abbreviated as ^c, r, or ^R. For example, 1 radian can be written as 1 rad, 1 ^c, 1 r, or 1 ^R.

Radians are often expressed using their definition. The formula to find radians is θ = s/r, where the angle in radians θ is equal to the arc length s divided by the radius r. Thus, radians may also be expressed as the formula of arc length over the radius.
