How do you convert degrees, minutes, and seconds to and from a decimal number?

DCP: Frequently Asked Questions
Example: To convert 49 degrees 30 minutes and 45 seconds to decimal degrees: dn = 49 + 30/60 + 45/3600 = 49.5125 Note that int(n) denotes taking the integer part of a number (e.g. int(49.5125) = 49) and frac its fractional part (e.g. frac(49.5125) = 0.5125). mi is an intermediate result. Example: To convert 49.5125 decimal degrees to degrees, minutes and seconds: d = int(49.5125) = 49 mi= frac(49.5125)*60 = 0.5125*60 = 30.75 m = int(mi) = int(30.75) = 30 s = frac(mi)*60 = 0.

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
