Here we will explain, calculate, and show you what fraction of a circle 272 degrees is. More specifically, if you draw two lines from the center of a circle, creating 272 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 272 over 360 and simplify if necessary, we get the answer to "What fraction of a circle is 272 degrees?" as follows:
degrees/360 = fraction
272/360 = 34/45
272 degrees = 34/45
Below is an illustration showing you what 272 degrees and 34/45 of a circle looks like.
To create the illustration above showing you 272 degrees, we first drew a circle and then drew two lines from the center, separated by 272 degrees. The slice that the two lines create inside the circle is 34/45 of the circle.
