60 is a very handy number if you're going to be breaking up the big unit into pieces.
If the big unit is made of 60 small ones, then you can split the big one up into
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 equal smaller sections without the need to
cut up any minutes.
That's the reasoning behind putting 60 smaller units in every hour and minute
of time, and in every degree and minute of angle.
