Conversion Formula

The conversion from hours to days is based on the fact that 1 day equals 24 hours. When you want to convert hours into days, you divide the number of hours by 24. This works because dividing splits the total hours into how many full 24-hour periods fit into it, plus any leftover hours expressed as a fraction of a day.

Example:
