First multiply by #180/pi# to get the value in degrees.

Multiply the fractional part by #60# to get the minutes.

Then multiply the remaining fractional part by #60# to get the seconds.

Explanation:

#0.25412 * 180/pi ~= 14.56#

#0.56 * 60 = 33.6#

#0.6 * 60 = 36#

So #0.25412# radians is #14^o33'36#"
