Minutes and seconds
A degree is 60 minutes or 3600 seconds, much like the relationship between them and an hour.
Absolute location is typically defined by 3 (sometimes 4 variables): Latitude (distance from equator measured in degrees, minutes and seconds), longitude (distance from the prime meridian also given in degrees, minutes and seconds), elevation (distance above/below sea level) and sometimes time.
Divide that by 60 to get degrees. If you want degrees and minutes, do an integer division by 60; the remainder will be the minutes. Seconds will of course be zero in this case.
