Tool for dividing a circle into slices?

Question

Is there a tool on Illustrator that can EASILY divided a circle into 52 equal slices? I have been struggling with this matter for some time now and I have a dead line coming.

i'm pretty sure this is what the video describes, but I can't watch it here, so just in case.

draw a path from the centre of your circle to the outside. use smart guides to align it to the centre.

use the rotate tool. with just the line selected, alt-click on the endpoint at the centre. type 360/52 into the box and tab out. this should give you 6.92 degrees:

click 'copy'. hold down ctrl+D (transform again) until you have lines going all the way round:

select both lines and circle. use pathfinder - divide.

Uncertain why anyone needs a tutorial, or to do any math.. Illustrator has a built in tool for this sort of thing.

Grab the Polar Grid Tool (it's under the Line Tool). Hold down the Option/Alt key and click the artboard once.. enter your desired dimensions and divisions, hit OK. Done.
