BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

DMS uses an explicit sign applying to the entire value. Radians convert by 180/π. The output preserves signed angles and normalizes a separate coterminal angle into [0,360). This is angular conversion, not a time calculation.

decimal degrees = sign × (degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600)Calculated with normalised units
