    As we are going to
    divide by 2, we need
    to use 360 + 90
    As we are going to multiply by 2, we
    do not need to consider the value of
    1
    2
    x in the fourth quadrant.
    As we are going to divide
    by 3, we need to add 360
    and 720 to each of the
    two basic solutions
