Adding 940 is really a way of saying "take away 60 and add 1000" - where the last two digits represent the minutes and the thousands represent the hours. You can add as many numbers as you like, you just keep adding 940 until the "minutes" drop below 60.

For an easy example 1:50+1:50+1:50+1:50
Would be 1050+1050+1050+1050 = 4200
Add 940 = 5140
Add 940 = 6080
Add 940 = 7020 (7:20)

Although D°M'S" on a scientific calculator is easier!
