Formula Used
DMS → Decimal Degrees
Let sign be +1 or −1 from hemisphere or degree sign. Formula:
decimal = sign × ( |deg| + min/60 + sec/3600 )
Decimal Degrees → DMS
Let a = |decimal|. Then:
D = floor(a),
M = floor( (a − D) × 60 ),
S = (a − D − M/60) × 3600.
Apply sign/hemisphere to D.
Validation: minutes range 0–59, seconds range 0–59.999…, decimal may be any real; hemisphere N/E is positive and S/W is negative.
