Question

Convert 0.7135° to minutes and seconds. Round to the nearest second.

Answer 1

0° 42' 48.6". 
Conversion: 
d = int(.7135°) = 0°m = int((.7135° - 0°) × 60) = 42's = (.7135° - 0° - 42'/60) × 3600 = 48.6".7135°= 0° 42' 48.6"
How to convert decimal degrees to degrees,minutes,seconds

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
