The method, explained
Convert to the base unit, then divide by the target factor. One full turn is 360 degrees, 2π radians or 400 gradians.
180 degrees = π radians = 0.5 turns.
What to keep in mind
Negative and multi-turn angles are preserved; the result is not normalized into a single rotation.
Common questions
Does it wrap 450 degrees to 90?
No. It preserves the full angle; 450 degrees equals 1.25 turns.
What is a radian?
An angle of one radian subtends an arc equal in length to the circle radius.
