Difference Between Decimal & Clock Time:

Decimal Time:

Decimal time has a resolution of 1/100. It uses the base of 10 to represent the time. In this time format, each number is placed in the range 0-9.

Regular Clock Time:

This time format has a resolution of 1/60. It uses a base of 60 to display time, which means the time is expressed in 60 one-minute units.

How to Convert Decimal Time to Regular Time?

Steps to converting decimal time to standard time:

Step 01: Separate the Whole Number

Separate out the whole number in decimal time as it represents the number of hours.

Step 02: Convert Decimal Part to Minutes

The decimal portion of the original number represents minutes in decimal format. To convert it to regular minutes representation, multiply by 60.

Step 03: Convert Remaining Decimal to Seconds

If you are left with a decimal portion in minutes, you need to multiply it by 60 again to convert it to regular clock seconds.

Example (Decimal to Time Conversion)

Convert the decimal time 7.64 to regular time.

Steps Include:

7.64, 7 indicate hours, and 0.64 indicates minutes. So we have 7 hours here.
0.64 represents decimal minutes, so multiplying it by 60 to get actual minutes:

0.64 * 60 = 38.4 minutes

In 38.4, 38 are the exact minutes, while 0.4 are seconds.
To convert 0.4 to regular seconds, multiply it by 60, such as:

So the regular time is 7 hours, 38 minutes, and 24 seconds.
