Arccotangent (inverse cotangent) in degrees and radians

The arccot calculator finds the angle whose cotangent equals a given value. The result is always between 0° and 180°, covering the full principal range of the inverse cotangent function.

How arccotangent works

Arccotangent is the inverse of the cotangent function. If cot(45°) = 1, then arccot(1) = 45°. The function accepts all real numbers and returns angles in the range (0°, 180°).

For zero input, arccot(0) = 90°. As the input approaches positive infinity, the result approaches 0°. As it approaches negative infinity, the result approaches 180°.

Limitations

Returns the principal value only. The calculator does not show periodically equivalent angles.

Frequently asked questions

What is arccot(1)?

45 degrees (pi/4 radians). cot(45°) = 1.

What is arccot(0)?

90 degrees (pi/2 radians). The cotangent is zero at 90°.
