巴比伦人把圆圈分成360度,因为它与他们的阴历一致,阴历有12个月,每个月30天。
360也是一个具有许多约数的高度合成数,因此可以很容易地将圆细分为更小的部分。
The Babylonians divided the circle into 360º because it aligned with their lunar calendar, which had 12 months of 30 days each.
360 is also a highly composite number with many divisors, making it easy subdivide the circle into smaller parts.
