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)
