Think of this as
The question to ask is: How many radians will
get you from back to again?
The answer is and any multiple of ,
so 4, 8, 12, 16, etc.
Now I can restate the problem as:

The 1st part just brings me back to where I started, and I'm
left with
------------------------------------
I'll show you a tougher example:

Starting from , how many multiples of will
bring me back to ? The answer is,
and any multiple of , like 8,16,24, etc.

Ignore the because that is how many times you go
completely around and back to , so the answer is:
