UTM coordinates are typically given with the zone first, then the easting, then the northing. So, in UTM coordinates, Red Hill is located in zone twelve at 328204 E (easting), 4746040 N (northing).

UTM SCALE FACTOR
5-27. The scale factor (a computed factor) affects the measured distance. The scale factor for a particular UTM zone is solely dependent on the location of the survey in relation to its east-west distance from the UTM-zone CM.

The UTM Grid
The best known use of the transverse Mercator projection is the specialized form called Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection system.
UTM coordinates are recorded in meters. The UTM northing coordinate (the Y coordinate) for a feature is the distance in meters north from the equator to the feature.
UTM is applied separately to the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, thus within a single UTM zone, a single X / Y pair of values will occur in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

The UTM coordinate system is commonly used in GIS for larger scale areas within a certain UTM zone. The UTM projection is formed by using a transverse cylindrical projection, i.e., the standard line runs along a meridian of longitude.
The UTM is a secant, cylindrical projection in a transverse position
The UTM projection is designed to cover the world, excluding the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
Known UTM coordinates collected from map sheets of GCM were used as ground control points in geometrical correction of the satellite image corresponding to the study area in order to obtain an image georeferenced into its proper UTM coordinates.

Although the UTM system is widely used by the USGS and others it has an inherent limitation: it is not possible to combine maps across two UTM zones without creating excessive distortion.
Note that the UTM (grid) zone is not given so the coordinates are ambiguous — they can represent a position in any of the approx. 1200 UTM grid zones.

UTM Coordinate System (Universal Tranverse Mercator) A planar locational reference system which provides positional descriptions accurate to 1 meter in 2,500 across the entire earth`s surface except the poles.
They are cast to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection system and are referenced to either the North American Datum (NAD) of 1927 (NAD27) or the NAD of 1983 (NAD83).
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) The Universal Transverse Mercator is an international plane (rectangular) coordinate system developed by the U.S. Army. The UTM divides the world into 60 zones of 6 degrees longitude.
Choose a Projection: The easiest way to choose an appropriate projection fror your raster is to use the apropriate zone of the Universal Transverse Mercator system from this handy map of UTM Zones.
UTM. Relative accuracy concerns the positioning of map features relative to one another.
For most geographic applications, relative accuracy is of greater concern than absolute accuracy.
The projection is UTM-1983, Zone 42. The projection was approximated using affine (order-1) transformations, which introduce errors of up to 300 meters in the X direction: about one-third of a grid cell.
The familiar Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates represent E-W and N-S movements in meters along the plane.
An example of such a projection is UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator). Within the map plane, we have rectangular coordinates x and y. In this case the North direction used for reference is the map North, not the local North.
