Longitude is given as an [[angle|angular measurement]] ranging from 0° at the prime meridian to +180° eastward and −180° westward.
Each degree of longitude is sub-divided into 60 [[minute of arc|minutes]], each of which divided into 60 [[arcsecond|seconds]]. A longitude is thus specified in [[sexagesimal]] notation as ''23° 27′ 30" E''. For higher precision, the seconds are specified with a [[Decimal#Decimal fractions|decimal fraction]]. An alternative representation uses degrees and minutes, where parts of a minute are expressed in decimal notation with a fraction, thus: ''23° 27.500′ E''. Degrees may also be expressed as a decimal fraction: ''23.45833° E''. For calculations, the angular measure usually must be converted to [[radians]], so longitude may also be expressed in this manner as a signed fraction of π ([[pi]]), or an unsigned fraction of 2π.
