The point on the tip of the dome of the New Jersey State House
in Trenton is located at
2,413 minutes 13.87 seconds north latitude
4,486 minutes 11.81 seconds west longitude.
If I could use degrees too, the numbers would be easier to handle:
40° 13' 13.87" north latitude
74° 46' 11.81" west longitude.
Note:
These are the latitude/longitude coordinates of the State House dome only.
Other spots around town have somewhat different numbers. In fact, so do
other spots around the State House building.

Longitude and latitude are measured in terms of degrees, minutes and seconds. Longitude has 360 degrees, while latitude 180 degrees of latitude.
Latitude and longitude are angles, and are best expressed in units of angle measurement. Radians and grads would work, but the most commonly used units are degrees, minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds.
Minutes (1/60 of a degree) and seconds (1/60 of a minutes). After that you use decimals of a second.
