Default sparks per second formula

I am used to know this formula for calculating how many times per second each spark plug fires in a four cycle engine.I am curious if anyone knows of it and can refresh me on it.I do remember you calculate in crankshaft revolutions(2)720 degrees and number of cylinders.

Default

1/2 spark/rev per x rev/min * 1min/60sec = y spark/sec


RPM *1/2*1/60= sparks per second.
