The differential rotation and longitudinal distribution of solar magnetic flux has been studied using 342 National Solar Observatory/Kitt Peak synoptic charts that are connected in time order. The synodic rotation rate is found to satisfy v(φ)=13.43-2.84sin2φ deg day-1, where φ is the latitude. About 55% of solar magnetic flux can be represented by a longitudinal mode of m=6 in the northern hemisphere and m=5 in the southern hemisphere. This conclusion may provide hints to understanding the basic character of the solar dynamo.
