Answer:
Sexagesimal, also known as base 60 or sexagenary, is a numeral system with sixty as its base. It originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC, was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates.

- Sexagesimal is a numeral system with sixty as its base. and it is still used — in a modified form — for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates
- The number 60, a highly composite number, has twelve factors, namely { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60 } of which two, three, and five are prime numbers. With so many factors, many fractions involving sexagesimal numbers are simplified.
- For example, one hour can be divided evenly into sections of 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 12 minutes, 10 minutes, six minutes, five minutes, etc. Sixty is the smallest number that is divisible by every number from one to six; that is, it is the lowest common multiple of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In this article, all sexagesimal digits are represented as decimal numbers, except where otherwise noted.
[For example, 10 means ten and 60 means sixty.]
