The longitude value is presented in which format in the data?

The format being used is degrees, minutes, and seconds. In this representation, the longitude is broken into three parts: degrees (0–180), minutes (0–59), and seconds (0–59), typically shown with the symbols °, ', and ". This style is common in traditional navigation and some geographic datasets. You’d see something like 123° 45' 12.3" E/W, which clearly indicates the DMS format. Other formats would look different: decimal degrees would be a single number with a decimal point (e.g., 123.7534°); Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) would present easting and northing in meters; Military Grid Reference would be a grid-based alphanumeric code. So the longitude is presented in the Degrees, Minutes, Seconds format.
