Frequently Asked Questions
How does DMS-to-decimal conversion work?
Minutes are divided by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in a degree) and seconds are divided by 3600 (since there are 3600 seconds in a degree), then both are added to the whole degrees.
Why convert DMS to decimal degrees?
Decimal degrees are easier to use in calculations and are the standard format expected by most modern software, mapping tools, and calculators, unlike the traditional DMS format.
How is this different from the reverse converter?
This calculator converts degrees-minutes-seconds INTO a single decimal value. The companion decimal-to-DMS calculator does the opposite conversion.
