What is the scaling factor for the RAW gyro data that we get from the data logger #915

1. Hi, I'm using the APM1 with the latest version of the mission planner.

2. I am logging the accelerometer & gyro data into a csv (excel) file. 

3. In a horizontal position, the z axis acceleration reads -1000, therefore I 
know that the scaling factor here is 100 (-10 m/s*s) i.e. -1 g.

4. I have no idea what the scaling factor for the RAW gyro data is. For 
example, if I read 995, what does it mean in degrees per seconds or radians per 
second. Am i supposed to divide it by a factor of 100 too, or is the scaling 
factor different here??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
