  360 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
360 is also a superior highly composite number and a colossally abundant number.
360 is a convenient standard since, 360 being highly composite, it allows a circle to be divided into equal segments with each segment measured in integer degrees rather than fractional degrees.
360 is the sum of a twin prime (179 + 181).

 Highly composite number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sequence of highly composite numbers is a subset of the sequence of smallest numbers k with exactly n divisors (sequence A005179 in OEIS).
Roughly speaking, for a number to be a highly composite it has to have prime factors as small as possible, but not too many of the same.
Many of these numbers are used in traditional systems of measurement, and tend to be used in engineering designs, due to their ease of use in calculations involving vulgar fractions.

 What is special about 360-days in a year?
The number six, for instance, is divisible by three numbers (1, 2, and 3), and six is the total of these same three numbers too, (1 + 2 + 3 = 6).
For while there are certainly not 360 days in a true solar year, nevertheless the true figure of 365.2421896698 is so perfectly synchronized to an exact 360, that it might as well be.
This number '360.0000000000' is a combination of both the '6' based system and of our modern '10' based system, and is common to the bible.

 Plato's Perfect Number of the Divine Creature - © Dr Shepherd Simpson
However, in the twentieth century a number of commentators looked at paragraph 546 and decided that in the mathematics of the latter part of that paragraph Plato was thinking of the number 36 000.
The Greek definition of a perfect number [which is also the definition that we still use today] is an integer which is the sum of its positive proper divisors.
The Greeks knew the first three numbers in the series of perfect numbers, 6, 28 and 248 and perhaps they also were aware of the fourth number, 8 128, but the fifth was only discovered in modern times.

 360 font family : MyFonts
Each 360 character averages roughly half the number of sharp angles of a regular sans serif.
360 was chosen as a name because it can be used as an everyday font, all year round, and because 360 has so many unusual angles that don't conform to normal font conventions.
360 also happens to be a cool number: 360 makes a highly composite number.

 [No title]
We reported a while back that signs from retailers indicated that the Xbox 360 console will be in short supply on its 11/22 launch date, and now that information has been semi-confirmed by Microsoft.
The idea seems to be that would-be Xbox 360 buyers will be less unhappy with a steady but limited supply of consoles than a massive sell-off followed buy a drought.
I think there's some significant merit to this idea of doing a kind of rolling, first come, first serve thing where the consoles are steadily and predictably doled out to buyers than having a ton of lucky gamers take home units initially followed by a period where nobody can get their hands on one.

 why circle divided into 360 degrees?
Numbers divisible by 12 seem to play a large part in many such things...
180 as a number alone does not mean anything but this is half the rotation of a full rotation, or standing in one position and turning half way around.
I imagine someone else can explain it better, but I am assuming the magic number 6 from the above relation was a major division and each was divided by 60 (just like we would divide something into 10s because we like base 10) resulting in 360 sections.

 Responses to Osama Abdallah: Are there really 360 joints in the human body?
Given that the "360 joints in the human body" was widely believed in the Far East, there is a high probability that this belief migrated also to Arabia and was either common knowledge or at least known to Muhammad, who himself was a caravan trader for some time of his life.
The report that the Kaaba had 360 idols is itself evidence that the number 360 had some significance in Arabia at the time of Muhammad.
Given that a considerable number of details from Galen's embryology were taken over by Muhammad (see the article Embryology in the Qur'an), it would not be a surprise to learn that the at least 850 years older belief of 360 joints in the human body was adapted into Muhammad's "knowledge base" in a similar way.
