Short background on the units used in this conversion.
A radian is the SI unit of angle — the angle subtended when arc length equals radius, about 57.3 degrees.
Radians appear in trigonometry, physics formulas, and programming math libraries.
A revolution (turn) is one complete 360-degree rotation — equal to 2π radians.
Revolutions per minute (RPM) rate motors, turbines, and rotating machinery.
rev = rad × 0.1591549431rad = rev × 6.2831853072, using the same exact factors as this converter.
