The division of a full circle into 360 probably dates back to the early Persian calendar from around 700 B.C. that used 360 days in a year, so one day represented a rotation of 1/360 of other stars around the North Star. But it was also chosen because it is divisible by so many factors, avoiding the need to deal with fractions. Find the distinct nontrivial (but not necessarily prime) factors of 360.
