How to convert second of arc to minutes of arc

A Second of arc = 1/3600 degree
Then, 1° = 3600 arcsec
A Minute of arc = 1/60 degree
Then, 1° = 60 arcmin
Therefore, 3600 arcsec = 60 arcmin
Then, 1 arcsec = 60/3600 = 0.0167 arcmin
Thus 1 asec = 0.0167 amin

Example 1:

Convert 15 second of arc to minutes of arc
1 asec = 0.0167 amin
Therefore, 15 asec = 15 * 0.0167 = 0.2505 amin

Example 2:

Convert 50 second of arc to minutes of arc
1 asec = 0.0048 amin
Therefore, 50 asec = 50 * 0.0167 = 0.385 amin
