, \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \pi, \frac{3\pi}{2}$ and $2\pi$.

$ \text{tan}(0) = 0 $

$ \text{tan}\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $

$ \text{tan}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 $

$ \text{tan}\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3} $

$ \text{tan}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \text{undefined} $

$ \text{tan}(\pi) = 0 $

$ \text{tan}\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = \text{undefined} $

$ \text{tan}(2\pi) = 0 $

To find the tangent values for the primary angles on the unit circle:

$ ext{tan}(0) = 0 $

$ ext{tan}left(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{sqrt{3}} $

$ ext{tan}left(frac{pi}{4}
ight) = 1 $

$ ext{tan}left(frac{pi}{3}
ight) = sqrt{3} $

$ ext{tan}(frac{pi}{2}) = ext{undefined} $

$ ext{tan}(pi) = 0 $

Here are the tangent values for primary angles on the unit circle:

$ ext{tan}(0) = 0 $

$ ext{tan}left(frac{pi}{6}
ight) = frac{1}{sqrt{3}} $

$ ext{tan}left(frac{pi}{4}
ight) = 1 $

$ ext{tan}(pi) = 0 $
