6×60

6×60 is typically read as the product of the integers 6 and 60, or six by sixty. In arithmetic, it denotes the value 6 times 60, which equals 360. The expression is often encountered in contexts where a factor of 60 is common, such as time or angles, and it can serve as a concise way to indicate a scaled quantity.

In mathematics, 360 is a highly composite number with several notable properties. Its prime factorization is 2^3 × 3^2 × 5, and it has 24 positive divisors. The Euler’s totient function φ(360) equals 96. The number 360 is well known for its role in geometry and measurement: there are 360 degrees in a full circle, linking the base-60 sexagesimal system to angular measurement. Because 60 minutes equal one hour and 60 seconds equal one minute, products involving 60 often appear when converting between time units, angles, and other calendar or navigation calculations.

The phrase also implicitly highlights the connection between time and circles: six times sixty minutes equals 360 minutes, which is six hours, while six times sixty degrees completes a full rotation in angular terms. This reflects the historical usage of base-60 arithmetic by ancient civilizations and its enduring influence on modern measurement systems.

Usage notes: outside pure arithmetic, 6×60 may appear as a label for dimensions, quantities, or configurations described as “6 by 60,” though its precise meaning depends on the surrounding context. As a standalone value, 6×60 = 360.
