+23254 "dms" means "degrees, minutes, and seconds".
There are 60 minutes in each degree and 60 seconds in each minute.
18.75° means that you hae 18 full degrees plus another .75 of a degree.
Since there are 60 miutes in a degree, .75° can be changed into minutes by: .75 x 60 = 45 minutes.
18.75° = 18 degrees and 45 minutes = 18° 45'
Since it came out to 45 minutes without any remaining decimal, we don't have to change the remaining decimal part into seconds. If there were a remaining decimal, multiply that decimal times 60 to get seconds.
