How to convert seconds into hours and minutes

 

To convert seconds into hours and minutes, divide step-by-step:

1. Divide total seconds by 3600 to get hours.
2. Take the remainder and divide by 60 to get minutes.

Example: 5,400 seconds ÷ 3600 = 1 hour; remainder 1,800 ÷ 60 = 30 minutes → 1 hour 30 minutes.

In formula form: hours = seconds ÷ 3600, minutes = (seconds % 3600) ÷ 60.

Tip: Programmers and engineers often use this logic in scripts and automation tasks for time formatting.
