Where 63,360 fits
Why 63,360 is special
The figure is 5,280 feet times twelve, and its awkwardness compounds every inherited definition in the chain: twelve inches to a foot, three feet to a yard, 1,760 yards to a mile. Each step was reasonable and the product is not.

6 × 10,000 + 3 × 1,000 + 3 × 100 + 6 × 10 = 63,360. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Everyday life
63,360 inches in a mile is twelve times 5,280, which is itself three times 1,760. No step in the chain is unreasonable on its own; the accumulated product is a number nobody could work with mentally, which is the argument for metric in one figure.
