A number larger than 360 does likely rule out degrees as the unit of measure, but 360 is not the key dividing number for degrees to be unlikely; the measurement would be in the [-90,90] or [0,180] range depending on the angle labeled 0 degrees.

:In the military other divisions are common too. For example dividing a circle into 400 degrees makes it easier to calculate some things in the head. And you could say "25 degrees" for 1/16 of a circle. That's impossible to do with 360° --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:30, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
