How do you convert minutes into hours and minutes?

Answer 1

You do a integer division, minutes divided by 60, keeping in mind integers do not use decimal points. The integer result is the hours. Then you do a remainder or Modulus (%) of the minutes by 60 to get the remainder in minutes.

Java:

Int hours, minutes=140, minutesresults;

hours=minutes/60; //result is 2 hours

minutesresults=minutes%60; //result is 20 minutes

Calculator:

A calculator is normally not equipped to do an integer division directly. Dividing 140/60 gives you 2.333. The 2 becomes the hours then take the decimal part (.33) and multiply it by 60 (result 19.8 or 20 rounded to an integer value is the minutes).
