If you use longitude and latitude you can find a location easily on the globe.
ANSWERThe quickest and easiest way to find the Latitude and Longitude of something is to go to "GOOGLE EARTH".The Latitude and Longitude of wherever the cursor' arrow is pointing on the screen is continuously shown on the horizontal strip at the bottom of the page.{For example, the Latitude and Longitude of the palm tree in the front of my grandmother's house is37 [Degrees] 49' [Minutes] 47.27'' [Seconds] , and Longitude is 145 Degrees 05' 42.48''.)It is quite precise and can be used to find the exact latitude and longitude of something down to TWO INCHES! [eg my survey marks]_____________________________________________Most smartphones also have a GPS function builtin, and when enabled, you can read your current position fairly accurately.
Our guess is that you're looking at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. But your latitude leads us wrong by at least 100 miles, and without any longitude, we might just as easily have been looking for it along the west coast of Portugal.

Neither Canada nor the US touches either the equator or the Prime Meridian. Each of them covers a huge range in latitude and longitude. The figures can easily be found on line or in an atlas.
Germany is located in central Europe, between latitudes 47° and 55° N, and longitudes 5° and 15° E. Its geographic coordinates are approximately 51.1657° N, 10.4515° E. You can easily find detailed maps online that display the specific latitude and longitude coordinates of different regions within Germany.
Boston is a big place, with a huge number of different points in it, and every point has a different set of coordinates. -- The northeast end of Runway-22L at Logan International Airport is located at 42.3737° north latitude 71.0008° west longitude. -- The center of the pitcher's mound at Fenway Park is located at 42.3464° north latitude 71.0976° west longitude. -- The center of the curve of the 'T'-tracks in the intersection of Brighton Ave and 'CommAve' ('Packard's Corner') is located at 42.3521° north latitude 71.1247° west longitude. I know that my familiarity with these places doesn't sound too convincing, but it's still every bit as solid as it was while I lived there. After 6 years, I could still easily get lost on my way home from work. The analytical engineering mind and the Boston 'system' of streets do not mesh.
Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates used to identify a location on Earth's surface. The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. A grid is a network of horizontal and vertical lines that form squares used for locating points on a map or globe.

You can convert latitude and longitude to Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) using tools like software applications, online converters, or formulae. MGRS is based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, so you first need to convert lat long to UTM and then to MGRS. Many GIS software packages offer tools for this conversion.

Yes. Convert the fractions to a common denominator, then you can easily compare. Or convert them to decimals - that's easy with a calculator. That also lets you compare easily.
