I like the first anons answer but it was not very helpful.

 

say you have 56.84987 degrees - this is how i would change it using the site calc.

 

$$\left({\mathtt{56.849\: \!87}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{56}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{60}} = {\mathtt{50.992\: \!2}}$$

 

$$\left({\mathtt{50.992\: \!2}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{50}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{60}} = {\mathtt{59.532}}$$

 

so 56.84987 degrees       is  56 degrees, 50minutes and 59.532 seconds

 

I hope that is more helpful than the other answers

Humm . . . 

Several minutes and seconds are required to explain it.

It's a matter of degrees, you know!

These 'questions' are just places for idiots to attempt trolling

We have some very funny and skilled trolls.

The trolls offer a counter point to dumb questions and the idiots who ask them. It takes the edge off the nausea.
