Convert degrees to circles with this simple formula:

circles = degrees × 0.002778

Converting a degree angle measurement to a circle measurement involves multiplying your angle by the conversion ratio to find the result. A degree is equal to 0.002778 circles, so to convert simply multiply by 0.002778.

For example:

5° = (5 × 0.002778) = 0.013889cir

There are 360 degrees in a revolution, or circle. 360 has 24 divisors, and is easily divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120 and 180. This makes it a fairly easy number to work with. There are also 360 days in the Persian calendar year, and many theorize that early astronomers used 1 degree per day. Protractors are commonly used to measure angles in degrees. They are semi-circle or full-circle devices with degree markings allowing a user to measure an angle in degrees.
