$\frac{1440}{13}$ $1440/13$ degrees are $110^@46'9.23''$

Before we attempt this, recalling

we have $60'$ called sixty minutes in each degree

and $60''$ called sixty seconds in each minute.

As $1440/13=110+10/13$ degrees which we can write as $110^@$ and $(10/13)^@$

Now converting $(10/13)^@$ into minutes we have

$(10/13)^@=10/13xx60=600/13=46 2/13$ minutes and we can write it as $46'$ and $(2/13)'$

and $(2/13)'$ are $2/13xx60=120/13=9.23$ seconds.

Hence $1440/13$ degrees are $110^@46'9.23''$
