I can think of two very related uses, time and angle arithmetic. Both are
heavily base 60 oriented unless you convert into one of the sub-units
units (i.e. degrees, hours, minutes or seconds) and convert back when you
wish to display. If you are dealing more with the I/O of these and doing
simple operations, sometimes working with either DMS or HMS is better.
However, most of the time you are better off using fp or integer math and
converting to/from a single unit when doing I/O.
