Degrees/Radians Problem

Hello everyone! I'm having a little problem with degrees/radians. To convert degrees to radians, you use the following equation.
π = 3.14159265
Radian(s) = Degree(s) * π / 180
The problem is that I can't seem to exceed 3.14159265 radians (180 degrees). What is the problem? Thank you very much!

What do you mean that you can't exceed pi radians? I understand radians, but I don't have a clue what you're talking about here.

I'm trying to rotate this object and it'll only let me rotate it up to 3.14159265 radians (180 degrees) for some reason...

You can use negative radians as well you know.
Let say you want to rotate the object positive 270 degrees, That of which is a radians equivalent of +4.712388 rounded.
A rotation of positive 270 degrees is equivalent to negative 90 degrees, that of which is a radians equivalent of -1.570796 rounded.
