The conversion process to degrees, minutes, and seconds is about deconstructing a decimal degree value into smaller portions. One degree corresponds to 60 minutes, and similarly, one minute corresponds to 60 seconds. For the conversion, you just need to take the decimal portion of the degree, then multiply by 60 to get minutes. Apply the same process to the remaining decimal to obtain the seconds.
