One
degree (°) is equal to 60 minutes (') and equal to 3600 seconds ("):
1°
= 60' = 3600"
The
integer degrees (d) are equal to the integer part of the decimal degrees (dd):
d
= integer (dd)
The
minutes (m) are equal to the integer part of the decimal degrees (dd) minus
integer degrees (d) times 60:
m
= integer ((dd - d) × 60)
The
seconds (s) are equal to the decimal degrees (dd) minus integer degrees (d)
minus minutes (m) divided by 60 times 3600:
s
= (dd - d - m/60) × 3600
Example
Convert
30.263888889° angle to degrees, minutes, and seconds:
d
= integer (30.263888889°) = 30°
m
= integer ((dd - d) × 60) = 15'
s =
(dd - d - m/60) × 3600 = 50"
So
30.263888889°
= 30° 15' 50"
