Each degree is equal to 60 minutes, each minute is equal to 60 seconds; to convert seconds to minutes, divide the seconds by 60 and add to the minutes.

Ex. (Assume the asterisk (*) is a degree sign)

51* 43' 20"

51* + 43' + (20/60)'

51* + 43' + (1/3)'

Answer: 51* 43 (1/3)'

Hopefully this is answering the question you had. If you want to convert Minutes and seconds into decimal degrees, use either formula below:

((Seconds/60) + Minutes)/60 + Degrees

or

Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)

How many seconds are in each minute of latitude?

The latitude and longitude are input in degrees, so you might need to convert to degrees from degrees:minutes:seconds. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 degree. So, for example: 65:45:36 south latitude converts to -(65 degrees + (45 minutes * (1 degree/60 minutes)) + (36 seconds * (1 minute/60 seconds) * (1 degree/60 minutes))) = -65.76 degrees latitude
