What is the formula to convert from Compass Points to Circles?

The formula to convert angle value from the unit of Compass Points to the unit of Circles is:

Angle_(Circles) = Angle_{(Compass Points)} / 32

Compass Points unit in Angle

Compass points are a unit of angular measurement based on the traditional 32-point compass rose, where the full circle is divided into 32 equal parts. Each compass point represents 11.25 degrees. Compass points are primarily used in navigation and meteorology to describe directions and wind headings with precision.

Circles unit in Angle

Circles are a unit of angular measurement equivalent to one full rotation, or 360 degrees. This unit is conceptually simple and is used in various contexts to represent complete rotations or cycles. Circles are often used in mechanical engineering, robotics, and any field where rotational symmetry or periodicity is important.
