Definition
1^\prime = \dfrac{\pi}{10 \ 800} \mspace{6mu} \text{rad}

The conversion between radians and arc minutes follows from the relations: 1 turn = 360° and 1° = 60′.

360^\circ = 2 \pi \mspace{6mu} \text{rad}\\ \\ \\ 1^\circ \mspace{17mu} = \dfrac{\pi}{180} \mspace{6mu} \text{rad}\\ \\ \\ 1^\prime \mspace{19mu} = \dfrac{\pi}{10 \ 800} \mspace{6mu} \text{rad}
