Not since Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras was inventing his theorem about the geometric relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle, has there been this much buzz about 360. Back then, it was finding out you could use Pythagorean theorem on triangles to derive the equation of a 360-degree circle that was simply mind blowing.
Of course, he didn’t invent the concept of 360 degrees. That was the brainchild of the Babylonians who predate Pythagoras by about one thousand years. They originated the concept based on the ecliptic movement of the stars and their sexagesimal system which has a base value of 60, rather than our decimal system with its base value of 10.

But it wasn’t until Greek astronomer Hipparchos needed a method of measuring angles, that he adopted the Babylonian approach of segmenting the ecliptic into 360 degrees as a template to divide the circle the same way!
To mathematicians of more recent times, 360 stands out as because it’s known as a “superior highly composite number”. This number has an impressive 24 factors, offering clean cut divisions into two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180 and, not forgetting 360 itself. And all without pesky fractions making things complicated. What other number gives so much and asks so little?
What’s this got to do with imei you ask? Launch of imei 360
With respect to Hipparchos, Pythagoras, and the Babylonians, the concept of 360 these days is deeply entrenched in our world and conveys the approach of looking at something from all angles.
