1345036 2013-06-07 23:47:00 Here's one that Google cant answer!

I have a large DVD collection and I have to constantly convert the movie length's from "minutes" to the more comprehensible Hours and minutes.

My mental resources are maximized; any unnecessary load is to be avoided.
That is why I am looking for a way to do the conversion from something like 257 minutes to 4:17 Hours & minutes.
Does anybody know how this can be done in a vary few steps? 		Vince (406)
1345037 2013-06-08 00:35:00 Don't know if I'm reading that right, but those figures aren't correct anyway. 257 Minutes is actually 4.28 hrs not 4.17.

Its simple maths really, take the minutes divide by 60 = hours/minutes, and in reverse hrs+minutes X 60 will give you the minutes.

OR If you want to be accurate theres MANY free converters available - Heres one (www.calculateme.com) same site minutes to hours Minutes To Hours (www.calculateme.com) 		wainuitech (129)
1345038 2013-06-08 00:41:00 Hours = total minutes / 60
Minutes = total minutes modulo 60

If you have a calculator that can work out the modulo (remainder after a division) it's a simple calculation. 		pcuser42 (130)

He doesn't want the remainder minutes in decimal fractions of an hour
As he said - he wants mins to hours and minutes.

...which is 4 hours and 17 minutes 		bevy121 (117)

I did say, "Here's one that Google cant answer!"

That should have told you that I had already checked out those sites.
That first link of yours goes to a site that gives hours and tenths of hours.
It would have been better if you hadn't wasted our time on something you hadn't checked out first.:) 		Vince (406)

That should have told you that I had already checked out those sites .

It would have been better if you hadn't wasted our time on something you hadn't checked out first . :) Before you go accusing anyone of wasting time maybe you should read what was put, that's why I said If I was reading it right .

The way you wanted it, is simple to work out even without the use of a calculator or any other such functions, simple maths . Ever think the reason you cant find the answers as you wanted on google is because its giving false real times .
