Multiply the fractional part by 60.  e.g.
35.303079 degrees = 35 degrees, .303079*60 minutes
                                    = 35 degrees, 18.18474 minutes

= 35 degrees, 18 minutes, .18474*60seconds= 35 degrees, 18 minutes, 11.0844seconds


149.005521 degrees = 149 degrees, 0 minutes, 19.8756 seconds
