Worked out from NIST Special Publication 811, Guide for the Use of the International System of Units and 1 other source.
Counts are detector events, not disintegrations: turning a count rate into an activity in becquerel or curie needs the detector efficiency and geometry, which this converter does not assume.

How this is worked out

2 steps
  1. 1 cpm = 0.0166666666667 cps
  2. 1 x 0.0166666666667 = 0.01666666667 cps
