There are two ways to write them, either using decimal degrees or DMS.

Decimal degrees includes only degrees with decimals to show smaller divisions. For instance, 52.533°N, 34.542°W is expressed in decimal degree format.

The DMS system uses degrees, minutes (60 minutes = 1 degree), and seconds (60 seconds = 1 minute) to show divisions. For instance, 23°14'22"S, 43°12'55"E is in DMS format.
