1.) first divide 1,000,000 by 60 to find how many minutes that would be. then divide again by 60 to find how many hours. then divide again by 24 to find how many days. it ends up being 11.57....days
2.) take the 11 days and figure what day it would be at if it was 11 days later and it'll be tuesday.
3.)then find how many seconds are in 11 days (multiply by 24 then by 60 then 60 again). it's 950400 sec.
4.)minus 1,000,000 from 950400 and it's 49600 seconds left. divide that by 60 to find minutes and 60 again to find hours. and it's 13.777... hours. so 13 hours after 3 pm on a tusday is 4 am on wensday. (12 hours in a day)
5.) find how many seconds is in 13 hours and subtract that from 49600 and you get 2800 seconds. divide that by 60 to find minutes and you get 46 minutes. so the answer is Wensday at 4:46AM. check the answer if you want to. if you want seconds then it's Wensday at 4:46:40AM

I hope that wasn't too confusing. strange problem you have here. what grade are you in?

1,000,000 seconds
60 seconds * 60 mins * 24 = numbers of seconds in 1 day
86400 seconds = 1 day
1,000,000%86400 = 11 days
1000000 - 11*86400 = 49600 seconds
49600 % (60*60) = 13 hours
49600 - 13 *(60 * 60) =2800 seconds
2800%60 = 46 minutes
2800 - 46*60 = 40 seconds
approximately about Wednesday 2:46:40 AM

There are 24*60*60 = 86,400 seconds in one day; the number of days is then 10^6 / 86,400 = 11+ days 11*86400 = 950,400; therefore the number of seconds left over from 11 days is 10^6 - 950,400 = 49,600, Divide this by 3600 to get the hours left over: This is 13+ hours. Again, 13 hours is 13*3600 = 46,800 seconds, so the number of seconds left over is 49,600-46,800=2800. So far we have 11 days, 13 hrs, 2800 sec. 2800 sec = 46 min 40 sec.

So you have 3:00PM Friday plus 11 days 13 hrs 46 min 40 sec

Im not entirely sure, but i think it would be around Tuesday of the third week (Friday= week 1, next Friday = week 2, Tueday=week 3) at 5:24 A.M.

I did 1000000/60 then /60 then /24, then i got the day and rounded for the time.

answer: Wednesday 2am
if you take 1,000,000 seconds and divide by 60, that makes 16,666 minutes, then divide by 60 again, to get 277 hours, then divide this by 24 to see how many days would go by which is eleven days. with thirteen hours remaining, which would put it at 2am wednesday
you might want to double check me, but im pretty sure

1000000/60= 16666 2/3 gives you the minutes
(16666 2/3) / 60 = 277.8 hours

277.8/24 = 1.575 days

tuesday of the following week at 8:45 pm
