To convert seconds into a human-readable Hours:Minutes:Seconds format, you can follow this simple process:
Formula:
Hours = total_seconds ÷ 3600
Minutes = (total_seconds % 3600) ÷ 60
Seconds = total_seconds % 60
Steps:
Divide the total seconds by 3600 to get the number of hours.
Find the remainder when dividing the total seconds by 3600, then divide that by 60 to get the minutes.
Take the remainder of the minutes calculation to get the remaining seconds.
Example Conversions:
Seconds: 3665
Hours: 3665 ÷ 3600 = 1 hour
Minutes: (3665 % 3600) ÷ 60 = 1 minute
Seconds: 3665 % 60 = 5 seconds
Result: 1:01:05
Seconds: 7200
Hours: 7200 ÷ 3600 = 2 hours
Minutes: 0 minutes
Seconds: 0 seconds
Result: 2:00:00
Seconds: 50
Hours: 50 ÷ 3600 = 0 hours
Minutes: 50 ÷ 60 = 0 minutes
Seconds: 50 seconds
Result: 0:00:50
