28.7251 =

28 degrees

then take the decimal and multiply by 60 to get the minutes

so 0.7251 *60 = 43.506, use the whole number (43)

so now you have 28 degrees, 43 minutes

now take the remaining decimal ( 0.506) and multiply by 60

0.506*60= 30.36

when you have a decimal left over for the seconds, keep that as is.

so you now have 28 degrees, 43 minutes and 30.36 seconds

use ' for minutes and " for seconds

28 degrees 43' 30.36"

rounded to the nearest second would be 28 degrees 43 minutes and 30 seconds
