Degree, Minute, Second (Sexagesimal) Calculations

Performing an addition or subtraction operation between sexagesimal values, or a multiplication or division operation between a sexagesimal value and a decimal value will cause the result to be displayed as a sexagesimal value. You also can convert between sexagesimal and decimal. The following is the input format for a sexagesimal value: {degrees}  {minutes}  {seconds} .

Note: You must always input something for the degrees and minutes, even if they are zero.

2°20´30˝ + 39´30˝ = 3°00´00˝ 2 20 30 0 39 30  3°0´0˝

Convert 2°15´18˝ to its decimal equivalent.

2 15 18  2°15´18˝ (Converts sexagesimal to decimal.)  2.255 (Converts decimal to sexagesimal.)  2°15´18˝

Using Engineering Notation

A simple key operation transforms a displayed value to engineering notation.

Transform the value 1234 to engineering notation, shifting the decimal point to the right.

1234  1234

' 1.234×103 ' 1234×100

Transform the value 123 to engineering notation, shifting the decimal point to the left.

123  123

'(κ) 0.123×103 '(κ) 0.000123×106
