There are 360° in a circle, both the circle itself and the central angles. A central angles has the same number of degrees as the arc that it intercepts.

In 1/2 of a circle there are (1/2) x 360°  =   180°.

In 1/3 of a circle there are (1/3) x 360°  =   120°.

In 1/6 of a circle there are (1/6) x 360°  =   60°.
