What are "Decimal Degrees"?

Some of these sites show the coordinates in decimal format. How do I convert?

Markwell's Update to FAQ
Take the integer (whole number) - positive is North and East, negative is South and West - and set it aside. The remaining decimals would be multiplied times sixty to get minutes. Example: the Sears Tower in Chicago is located at 41.878928? -87.636415?. For the latitude... N41? 52.736 Now try the math on your own: Longitude -87.636415? will convert to W087? 38.185. To reverse the process, take the minutes portion and divide by 60, then tag it on to the degrees. West" is negative: -87.

How do you convert hexadecimal, binary, and decimal numbers?

Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number Bases
First, be sure you understand exactly what numbers mean in the old familiar decimal system. If I write 3409, what it really means is 3*1000 + 4*100 + 0*10 + 9*1... I can also write it as: 3*103 + 4*102 + 0101 + 9*100 (remember that 100 = 1). Now there's nothing magic about 10 - it was chosen because we happen to have 10 fingers. If humans had 7 fingers, you can bet that we'd be writing numbers like this: 3204 = 3*73 + 2*72 + 071 + 4*70.

How do I convert my KH/GH reading from ppm to degrees (or degrees to ppm)?

KH or GH readings in parts per million (ppm) can be converted to degrees by dividing them by 17.86. For example, if your KH tests as 120 ppm, this means your KH is 6.7 degrees.

How to convert degrees to radians?

JavaChina: SCJP Questions & Answers by Roseanne Zhang (8...
This is a math question, not a Java question. However, the Math.cos(), Math.sin() only accept double in radians. If you enter degrees, it will compile/run OK, but give you wrong results.Just remember 2 PIs is equivalent to 360 degrees. Simple double degrees = 60;

How do I convert a decimal number to hexadecimal, and the other way around?

JavaScript - Frequently Asked Questions - CodingForums.com
For converting a hexadecimal number to a decimal number, you use the parseInt function with a radix of 16, like this: Code: var nDecimal=parseInt(sHexadecimal, 16); where sHexadecimal is a string containing a hexadecimal number. For converting a decimal number to hexadecimal, you use the toString method with an argument of the radix you want to convert to, in this case 16, like this: Code: var sHexadecimal=nDecimal.

Can you explain how to convert binary fractions to decimal numbers, e.g. 0.00011001100110011001...?

Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number Bases
How do you convert numbers to base 16 numbers? Please use the following numbers in an example: 411213 and 38015. Here's one way to think about other bases. If you were given 3 hundred-dollar bills and 4 ten-dollar bills and 2 one-dollar bills you would have 342 dollars. We can just "glue" the 3 and the 4 and the 2 together because our decimal number system is based on tens.

The latitude-longitude coordinates are expressed in decimal degrees but what datum was used?

Frequently Asked Questions Concerning NURE HSSR Data
The current use of Global Positioning Systems and Geographic Information System software has increased awareness of the importance of recording datums and ellipsoids. However, this information was not commonly recorded in the past and it wasn't recorded for the NURE HSSR program. We do know that during the time these samples were collected (late 1970's and very early 1980's), there were very few choices of datums or ellipsoids in use within the United States.

What do I need to do to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit?
