Degree, Minute, Second to Decimal Converter

Hour, Minute, Second to Decimal Converter.

Yard, Foot, Ince to Decimal Converter.

To convert from degree (d) minute (m) second (s) to decimal (D) values use the equation:

To convert from decimal (D) to degree (d), minute (m) and second (s) use the following steps:

d = integer portion of D
remainder = D ⎯ d
m = integer portion of (remainder * 60)
remainder = remainder * 60 ⎯ m
s = remainder * 60

Note: the same process is applicable also to convert time from hour minute and second to decimal values.

Example 1: convert angle of 4-degree 15 minute and 40 seconds to decimal value.

Solution: The value in decimal will be:

Example 2: convert 1.56 hours from decimal value to hour, minute and second values.

Solution: According to the steps presented for angle conversion from decimal to
d, m and s (change h instead of d) we have:

h = 1

remainder = 1.56 ⎯ 1 = 0.56

m = integer (0.56 * 60) = integer (33.6) = 33
remainder = 0.56 * 60 ⎯ 33 = 0.6
s = 0.6 * 60 = 36

The value is: 1 hour, 33 minutes and 36 seconds.

To convert from yard (y), foot (f) and inch (i) to decimal (D) use the equation:

To convert from decimal (D) to yard (y), foot (f) and inch (i) use the following steps:

y = integer portion of D
remainder = D ⎯ y
f = integer portion of (remainder * 3)
remainder = remainder * 3 ⎯ f
i = remainder * 12

Example 3: convert the decimal value of 3.52 yard to yard, foot and inch values.

Solution: According to the steps above we have: D = 3.52

y = 3
remainder = 3.52 ⎯ 3 = 0.52
f = integer (0.52 * 3) = integer (1.56) = 1
remainder = 0.52 * 3 ⎯ 1 = 0.56
i = 0.56 * 12 = 6.72

The result is: 3 yard, 1 foot and 6.72 inch.
