Formula Validation & Test Cases

DMS to Decimal Formula

Decimal = Degrees + (Minutes / 60) + (Seconds / 3600)
• South (S) latitudes → negative
• West (W) longitudes → negative

Decimal to DMS Formula

Degrees = floor(abs(decimal))
Minutes = floor((remainder) × 60)
Seconds = (minutes_remainder) × 60
• Negative Lat = S, Positive = N
• Negative Lon = W, Positive = E

Coordinate System Reference

Latitude Range

-90° to +90°

0° = Equator, +90° = North Pole, -90° = South Pole

Longitude Range

-180° to +180°

0° = Prime Meridian, + = East, - = West

DMS Limits

Minutes: 0-59, Seconds: 0-59.999
