Here we will explain, calculate, and show you what fraction of a circle 291 degrees is. More specifically, if you draw two lines from the center of a circle, creating 291 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 291 over 360 and simplify if necessary, we get the answer to "What fraction of a circle is 291 degrees?" as follows:
degrees/360 = fraction
291/360 = 97/120
291 degrees = 97/120
Below is an illustration showing you what 291 degrees and 97/120 of a circle looks like.
To create the illustration above showing you 291 degrees, we first drew a circle and then drew two lines from the center, separated by 291 degrees. The slice that the two lines create inside the circle is 97/120 of the circle.
