Default Converting Lat/Lon coordinates to Decimal

I have an Excel spreadsheet with Lat/Lon coordinates in an unusual format.

The Degrees, Minutes, Seconds are merged together as text, without spaces.
They're in two columns, like this:

Lat, Lon
390757, 0902243

These numbers are the equivalent of 39° 07' 57", 90° 22' 43". I want to
convert these columns to their decimal equivalents, like this: 39.1325°,
90.378611°.

I have Excel 2002.
Unfortunately, I'm clueless with Visual Basic. Macros I can handle.

Thanks!
