060

060 is a numeric string commonly interpreted as the decimal integer 60. In contexts that require fixed width numeric identifiers, leading zeros like 060 are used to preserve alignment when listing items, times, or codes. As such, 060 can function as a label rather than a value in some systems.

In mathematics, 60 is a highly composite number with divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60. It is central to the sexagesimal (base-60) numeral system developed in ancient Mesopotamia, and continues to underpin time and angle measurement: 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, and 360 degrees in a circle.

60 is the atomic number of neodymium, a rare-earth element used in magnets, lasers, and some electronics.

Computing uses 060 as an octal literal in languages that denote octal values with a leading zero; 060 in octal equals decimal 48. In Unix-like file permissions, the octal 060 designates read and write permissions for the group, with no permissions for the user or others.

Historically, the sexagenary cycle, a 60-year cycle used in East Asian calendars, associates heavenly stems and earthly branches to form a 60-year sequence.
