Convert seconds into minutes

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute

So, how many minutes is 50,000 seconds?

So, divide 50,000 by 60 to get how many minutes that is

50,000 #divide# 60 = 833.33 minutes

Now, convert minutes to hours

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour

Divide 833.33 by 60 to get how many hours that is

833.33 #divide# 60 = 13.88 hours

there are 24 hours in a day

Divide 24 by 13.88

24 #divide# 13.88 = 1.72
