Method 1 of 2:
Degrees, Minutes, (no seconds) to Decimal Form
- Obtain the number of minutes on top of 0 the object is. If the item is located at 35 degrees AND 2 minutes write down 35* 2' .
- Be sure to write down a decimal point (.) to the right of the degrees portion you wrote on the one side of the paper.
- Divide that number of minutes you obtained by 60.
- Take the answer you obtained above (after dividing by 60) and write this portion of the answer to the right of the decimal point, to obtain your final answer.

- Obtain and divide the number of seconds the object is located at by sixty.In the example a few steps above, the object was located at 2 seconds, so divide this number by 60.take the number of seconds you obtained in the problem(2) by 60.
- Write down your answer to the right of the minutes portion you earlier write down.
- Be sure to include your units, which for this problem, should then be degrees. If this unit is a vector quantity, include the direction.
