Time to advertise my lacking math skillz: if you got Ground speed in kts and V/S in ft/min what formula would i require to get the current FPA?

Isn't there a variable that will give the flight path angle directly?
Which simulator, vendor and aircraft is this for?

Here is the method from Google AI

1. Multiply your Groundspeed (knots) by 101.27 to convert it to the same unit (feet per minute) as your vertical speed.
2. Divide the Vertical Speed by this number.
3. Take the arctangent (\(\arctan \)) of the result.
