Here we will explain, calculate, and show you what fraction of a circle 251 degrees is. More specifically, if you draw two lines from the center of a circle, creating 251 degrees, what will the area between the lines be as a fraction of the whole circle?
A full turn on a circle is 360 degrees. Therefore, to calculate what fraction of a circle any number of degrees is, you can simply put the number of degrees over 360.
When we put 251 over 360 and simplify if necessary, we get the answer to "What fraction of a circle is 251 degrees?" as follows:
degrees/360 = fraction
251/360 = 251/360
251 degrees = 251/360
Below is an illustration showing you what 251 degrees and 251/360 of a circle looks like.
To create the illustration above showing you 251 degrees, we first drew a circle and then drew two lines from the center, separated by 251 degrees. The slice that the two lines create inside the circle is 251/360 of the circle.
