What is the formula to convert from Minutes to Sextants?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Minutes to the unit of Sextants is:

Angle_(Sextants) = Angle_(Minutes) / 3600

Minutes unit in Angle

Minutes of arc, also known simply as arcminutes, are a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree. They are commonly used in fields such as astronomy, navigation, and optics to measure very small angles with precision. Arcminutes allow for detailed and accurate observations, particularly in contexts where degrees are too large a unit for the required precision.

Sextants unit in Angle

Sextants are a unit of angular measurement that divides a circle into six equal parts, with each sextant corresponding to 60 degrees. This unit is traditionally used in navigation, particularly in the context of sextants, the instruments used to measure the angle between a celestial object and the horizon.
