Best Answer

Because it has so many factors. That means you can easily break 360 down into

equal pieces without the need to mess with fractions.

Pick any number from the following list. 360 can be divided up into that many pieces

without any fractions of a degree:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, or 180 .
