Page 1 - To express fractional parts of the unit, the degree is divided into sixty equal parts called minutes, and the minute into sixty equal parts, called seconds. Degrees, minutes, and seconds are represented by the symbols, °. ', ", respectively. Thus, 43° 22' 37" represents an angle of 43 degrees, 22 minutes, and 37 seconds.
