In degree system, a circle consists of 360 degrees, in the radian system a circle is $\"2%28pi%29\"$ radians. Since $\"360+degrees=2%28pi%29+radians\"$ , we can use
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28pi%29radians%2F360degrees\"$ as a conversion factor for degrees to radians or $\"360+degrees%2F2%28pi%29+radians\"$ to convert radians to degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Example:Convert 180 degrees to radians.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"180+degrees%282%28pi%29radians%2F360degrees%29%29%29%29=%7B%7B%7B%282%28pi%29%2F2%29\"$ = $\"%28pi%29+radians\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
