About Hours to Minutes
Convert hours to minutes instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 h = 60 min.
Used for scheduling and billing, where an hourly figure has to be broken into the minute resolution that timesheets and appointment systems use.
The hour comes from the Egyptian division of daylight into twelve parts. Those hours originally varied in length with the seasons; fixed-length hours arrived only with mechanical clocks. It is the standard unit for working time, scheduling and pay rates worldwide. There are 24 hours in a day and 168 in a week.
Worked through with real numbers: 1 h is 60 min, 8 h is 480 min, 24 h is 1440 min.
As for the other side of the conversion: there are 60 seconds in a minute and 1,440 minutes in a day.
Time is the one system almost every country shares, and the only major measurement system that resisted metrication. Decimal time was introduced during the French Revolution and abandoned within two years, leaving base-60 minutes and seconds inherited from Babylonian arithmetic.
