Step 1: Find the number of full rotations

To determine how many full rotations the given angle goes through, we will divide the angle by \(360^\circ\). Since we are only concerned with full rotations, we will take the quotient without the remainder. Number of full rotations = \(Q = \frac{1243}{360} \approx 3\) (ignoring the remainder) This means that the given angle goes through 3 complete rotations and some additional degrees.

Step 2: Subtract the full rotations from the given angle

We subtract all full rotations from the given angle to obtain the primary angle coterminal with the given angle. Primary angle = \( 1243 - (3\times 360) = 1243 - 1080 = 163^{\circ}\) Thus, \(163^\circ\) is the primary angle coterminal with the given angle of \(1243^\circ\).
