kindly give the formula.

Angular Velocity = rpm x (2pi)/60

You can rearrange it to make rpm the subject.

rpm = Angular velocity / ((2pi)/60)

Can you give me the reason to use the number 60 there?

60 seconds = 1 minute.

Dividing r.p.m. by 60 gives revolutions per second. (r.p.s.)

The formula is correct for stating angular velocity in degrees per second.

Because 60seconds make a minute since the unit of angular velocity is rad per secs
