Since 300BC the day has been divided into smaller units by a factor of 60. Or more scientifically..

The day was subdivided sexagesimally, that is by 1⁄60, by 1⁄60 of that, by 1⁄60 of that, etc, to at least six places after the sexagesimal point (a precision of less than 2 microseconds) by the Babylonians after 300 BC
