0060

0060 is the four-digit decimal string produced by prefixing the number 60 with two zero digits. Numerically, it represents the integer 60; the leading zeros have no effect on value but are used for alignment in certain formats.

60 is a composite number with prime factorization 2^2 × 3 × 5. It has 12 divisors. It is the least common multiple of numbers 1 through 6. In culture and science, 60 is tied to time and angles: there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute, and a circle comprises 360 degrees. The sexagesimal (base-60) numeral system originated in ancient Mesopotamia and persists in the timekeeping and angular division systems used today.

As a year, 0060 can denote AD 60 in the Julian calendar, a point in the early Roman imperial era. Contemporary references to that year typically arise in historical or textual scholarship.

As a formatting choice, 0060 appears in inventories, serial numbers, software versioning, or database keys where fixed-width numeric fields are required; padding with leading zeros keeps alignment across records.
