1 degree = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

To convert into dms form, take the decimal part of your degrees and multiply by 60, then repeat for seconds.

68.278º

0.278° * 60'/° = 16.68'

0.68' * 60"/' = 40.8"

The whole number parts are your answer, rounding the seconds as necessary.

68° 16' 41"
