How do I convert 530 minutes into hours and minutes? I know how it is done but I don't know how to change it from a decimal answer into hours and minutes.

floor(530/60) = 8 This is the hours. The floor function rounds down.
mod(530,60) = 50 This is the minutes. The mod function finds the remainder after division.
So divide the number of minutes by 60 using a remainder instead of a fraction. The whole number is the number of hours, the remainder is the number of minutes.
530/60 = 8 remainder 50

Divide 530 by 60. You get 8 and 50 remainder. That's 8 hours and 50 minutes.

530/60
= 8 5/6 hours
530 ÷ 60
= 8......50
= 8 hours and 50 minutes
8 = quotient , 50 = remainder

okay, so in this u must divide by 60, but not to a decimal, to a fraction. u say 530, 4 example:
530minutes/60 minutes per hour=
8 50/60 hours.
that is because when u put it into the calculator, u will get:
8.8333333333....
if u do not know this, .83333... is the decimal for 5/6 and 5/6=50/60.
u can also do this by looking at the 8, multiplying this by 60, to get 480, then doing 530-480=50, and thus the remainder is 50 and it must be over 60.
so, we have 8 50/60 hours, and since we know that 1min=1/60 hours, then 50/60 hours=50 minutes.
the answer is 8 hours 50 minutes.

One way:
= 530\60 hrs, mod(530/60) min
= 8 hrs, 50 minutes
Another way (segregate the fractional portion afterwards):
= 530/60 or 53/6
= 8 5/6 hrs
Change the fractional 5/6 to minutes by multiplying it to 60:
= 5/6 * 60
= 300/6 or 50
Combined they'd be: 8 hrs and 50 min

Easy math. 1 hour has 60 minutes, so divide minutes by 60 to get number of hours. The remainder is the number of minutes that do not make up a "whole" hour.
So, for 530 minutes, 8 * 60 = 480, leaving 50 minutes. So it is 8 hours and 50 minutes.
To convert decimals this is easy too: each tenth equals 6 minutes (60 minutes divided by 10)
0.1 hours = 6 minutes
0.2 hours = 12 minutes
0.3 hours = 18 minutes....etc

I'll make it very simple for you.
# of minutes to hours= divide by 60
put the decimal # of minutes over 60 ( 60 minutes in an hour)
so there you have it! nice and easy!

To convert 530 minutes to hours, divide it by 60. To convert it to hours again, multiply by 60
