360 is evenly divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, and 20.

0.02 radians would absolutely be a ridiculous unit of measurement if you were a carpenter or draftsman in the age before computing.

But if you're trying to measure an angle, this is totally irrelevant. The angle is whatever it is.
