How many mils are there in a circle?

Explanation:
In this system angles around a circle are counted in mils, with a full rotation equal to 6,400 mils. That means one mil is 1/6,400 of a circle, or about 0.05625 degrees. Because 360 degrees make up the whole circle, dividing the circle into 6,400 equal parts gives 6,400 mils for the full circle (and 1,600 mils for a right angle, since 90 degrees is a quarter of the circle). This convention—6,400 mils per circle—is why the circle contains 6,400 mils.
