Please School Me On Electric Motors

I have a question. What makes an electric motor have a specific RPM? I have two 5hp motors almost identical. One is 1730 rpm and one is 1725 rpm. Both are 230 volt single phase.
Are the rpm ,s marked on the tag accurate?
How much of a variance can you have for incoming voltage? With a voltmeter I have 243 volts at the panel
Thanks
Martin
