Default Decimal numbers in Excel

Is there a way to separate and use the numbers, to the left of and to the
right of the decimal point in a single cell?
I am trying to convert angles given in decimal form (i.e. 27.286°), to the
older form of degrees, minutes and seconds (i.e. 27°1710), then store the
degrees in one cell, the minutes in another cell, and the seconds in a third.
I can make it work the OTHER way with multiplication and addition, because
that doesnt require the SEPARATION of a number.
