Question

How do I convert 0.25412 radians to degrees, minutes and seconds?

Answer 1

First multiply by `180/pi` to get the value in degrees.

Multiply the fractional part by `60` to get the minutes.

Then multiply the remaining fractional part by `60` to get the seconds.

Explanation:

`0.25412 * 180/pi ~= 14.56`

`0.56 * 60 = 33.6`

`0.6 * 60 = 36`

So `0.25412` radians is `14^o33'36`"
