DD, DMS and DDM latitude/longitude

Quick Answer

Coordinate Format Converter: DD, DMS and DDM latitude/longitude. Coordinate Format Converter uses standard unit conversion formulas to compute accurate results instantly.

Decimal degrees (DD)39.904200, 116.407400
DMS (deg° min′ sec″)39° 54′ 15.12″ N, 116° 24′ 26.64″ E
DDM (deg° decimal-min′)39° 54.25200′ N, 116° 24.44400′ E

Calculation steps

  1. 1Latitude: integer part 39°; fraction 0.904200 × 60 = 54.2520′ → 54′ + fraction × 60 = 15.12″
  2. 2Same for longitude → 116° 24′ 26.64″ E
  3. 3DDM: fold seconds into minutes: 39° 54.25200′ N
1° = 60′, 1′ = 60″. At the equator, 1″ of latitude ≈ 30.9 m; 6 decimal places of DD gives ~0.1 m precision — plenty for mapping apps (Google/Gaode use DD; aviation & marine charts use DDM).
