1. The problem is to convert an angle given in degrees into Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS) format.
2. Start with the angle in decimal degrees, for example, $\theta = 45.7625^\circ$.
3. The degrees part is the integer part: $45^\circ$.
4. To find the minutes, take the decimal part $0.7625$ and multiply by 60: $0.7625 \times 60 = 45.75$ minutes.
5. The integer part of this is the minutes: $45'$.
6. To find the seconds, take the decimal part $0.75$ of the minutes and multiply by 60: $0.75 \times 60 = 45$ seconds.
7. So, the angle $45.7625^\circ$ in DMS form is $45^\circ 45' 45''$.
8. This method is general and can be applied to convert any decimal degree angle into DMS format.
