1.2 radian = #68^o 45' 18''#, nearly..

Explanation:

The conversion factor for degrees is #180/pi#

If the #angle R# is in radian measure, the number of degrees D in R

is the integer part , or briefly. #INT(180R/pi)#.

If the proper fraction left as remainder in this division is #f_D#,

the number of minutes M in #f_D# is #INT(60f_D)#.

If the proper fraction left as remainder in this division is #f_M#,

the number seconds S in #f_M# is #INT( 60f_M)#.

If the remainder here is >=0.5, add 1 to S.

The calculator algorithm for a sample R = 1.2 radian follows.

[ ] is for the key on the keyboard.

[1] [.] [2] [X] [1] [8] [0] [#-:#] [SHIFT] [EXP] [=]

Note (record) the integer part R=68. Then continue.

[#-#] [6] [8] [=] [X] [6] [0]

Note the integer part M = 45. Then continue.

[#-#] [4] [5] [=] [X] [6] [0] [=]

Note the integer part S = 17.

Finally, fractional part in display is .7...>.5. So S = 18.

The answer is 1.2 radian = #68^o 45' 18''#, nearly..
