2. Divide the number of seconds by 60 to convert seconds to minutes. Every 60 seconds a full minute has passed. Dividing a number tells you how many times one number fits in the other.
The minutes (m) are equal to the integer part of the decimal degrees (dd) minus integer degrees (d) times 60: m = integer((dd-d) Ã 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) Ã 3600.
