Because 15 degrees of longitude is equivalent to 1 hour in time (that is 360 / 24) it is convenient to adopt time zones at 7.5 degrees or 15 degrees multiples.
In other words time zones are separated by multiples of 1 hour or 1/2 hour.

Does prime meridian need to be capitalized?
you capitalize prime meridian because it is an important thing a proper noun:)
What does the prime meridian and international dateline combine to do?
Ideally, the International Date Line should be the meridian of 180° longitude. Actually, it has been zigged and zagged to avoid cutting across any island or country, since to do so would put two different calendar dates in the same country simultaneously. If the IDL coincided with the 180° meridian, then together with the Prime Meridian, it would form a great circle on the earth, passing through the north and south poles as well as through Greenwich. As it is now, the Prime Meridian, the 180° meridian, and all other meridians of longitude are semi-circles, that begin and end at the poles.
What is the name of the line that is directly opposite from the Prime Meridian?
If you travel to any place that is half-a-globe around the earth from the Prime Meridian, you'll be located at longitude 180 degrees. If you're expecting to find a line there, you'll be disappointed. There is no line there.

Why does all countries decide the count should begin from the prime meridian passed the Greenwich?
The Prime Meridian, Greenwich Observatory, London, England, was agreed to in October 1884 in Washington, D.C. Twenty-six nations participated at the conference that resulted in selection of the Greenwich Meridian as the international standard for zero degrees longitude. Due to international trade and shipping globally, it was necessary to standardise time no matter whether travelling westwards or eastwards of the Prime Meridian.
How do you know if 54132 is divisible by 6?
To determine if a number is divisible by 6, it must be divisible by both 2 and 3. To determine if a number is divisible by 2, it should be even - in other words, it should end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. To determine if a number is divisible by 3, the sum of its digits should be divisible by 3. 54,132 is an even number, so it is divisible by 2. 5 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 15, which is divisible by 3, so 54,132 is divisible by 3. Since 54,132 is divisible by both 2 and 3, it is divisible by 6.
Is 395 divisible by 9?
No, 395 is not divisible by 9. If you are using a computer you should have a calculator.
Is 13 divisible by 3?
No 13 is not divisible by 3 because there would be a remainder of 1 and a number that is divisible by another should have no remainder
A provincial capital approxmately105degrees west of the prime meridian?
If you are talking about a provincial capital in Canada, it should be Regina, which is 104.72degrees west of the prime meridian line.
What number should be added to 39065 to make it divisible by 9?
the rule for divisibility by 9 is that the sum of all digits of the number should should be divisible by 9. So, 3+9+0+6+5= 23. To make is divisible by 9, we think of 27 (as the next number divisible by 9) and that means if we add 4 to any digit of the number, it will be divisible. 39069/9=4341
