The short answer: about 1664850 meters.
[14*60+54+36/60] = 894.6 minutes of arc * 1861= 1664850 m
I assume you are measuring angular distance on the surface of the Earth.
Now that will depend on the direction and the latitude that you are measuring
If you are measuring directly North -South then it doesn't matter and the answer would be almost identical to if you were measuring along the equator (East- West).
But if you are measuring anywhere else or in any other direction then it depends from where and in what direction. (Think that the full circle of 360 degrees in an East West direction is only a little over 30 meters if you start 5 meters from the North OR South Pole yet 40 000 000 meters at the equator.

How do you convert degree minutes seconds into decimal degree?
Some scientific caculators can convert degrees minutes and seconds into decimal degrees and vice versa as for example 60045'18'' = 60.755
How do you convert degrees minutes seconds to Degrees minutes only?
Each degree is equal to 60 minutes, each minute is equal to 60 seconds; to convert seconds to minutes, divide the seconds by 60 and add to the minutes. Ex. (Assume the asterisk (*) is a degree sign) 51* 43' 20" 51* + 43' + (20/60)' 51* + 43' + (1/3)' Answer: 51* 43 (1/3)' Hopefully this is answering the question you had. If you want to convert Minutes and seconds into decimal degrees, use either formula below: ((Seconds/60) + Minutes)/60 + Degrees or Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)

How do you convert a distance of 14 degrees 54 minutes and 36 secones into meters?
An angle is not a distance, there is not a direct conversion. In order to relate the two there must be an applied radius. In this case angle times radius will give you and arc-length. It units will be dependent on the units of the radius. And of course it would be better to work in radian rather than angles. The units of conversion is 2pi/360. To convert degrees, minutes and seconds you must add the series (degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/360) then multiply the result by 2(3.14159)/360 to get radians
