Both fields are editable, so you can also type in days and get minutes back. ## Inputs - Minutes (min) ## Results - Days ## Formula ``` 1 min = 0.00069444444 day 1 day = 1,440 min day = min × 0.00069444444 ``` ## Explanation A day has 1,440 minutes. Divide minutes by 1,440 for days. ### How to use the Minutes to Days Converter - Type the number of minutes into the **Minutes** field. Decimals such as 720 are fine. - Read the answer in **Days** – it updates as you type, with no button to press. - To convert the other way, type into **Days** and the minutes are recalculated. - Press **Copy results** to copy both values with the page title, or **Copy link** to share this exact conversion. This page converts only min ⇄ day. Need a different unit? Use the general time converter, where you can choose any “from” and “to” unit. ### How it works Both units measure time, so they are always in the same ratio: one minute equals 0.00069444444 days. The calculator multiplies the number of minutes you type by 0.00069444444 to give days, and when you type into the days field it divides by the same factor to give minutes. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the minutes always doubles the days. Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation). ### How to convert minutes to days - Write down the value in minutes, for example **1,440 min**. - Multiply by the conversion factor 0.00069444444 (because 1 minute = 0.00069444444 day). - 1,440 × 0.00069444444 = **1 day**. - To go back from days to minutes, divide by 0.00069444444 – or multiply by 1,440. ### min to day conversion table MinutesDaysDaysMinutes60 min0.041666667 day1 day1,440 min360 min0.25 day2 day2,880 min720 min0.5 day5 day7,200 min1,440 min1 day10 day14,400 min2,880 min2 day20 day28,800 min5,000 min3.4722222 day50 day72,000 min10,000 min6.9444444 day100 day144,000 min43,200 min30 day1,000 day1,440,000 min ### What is a minute? A minute is 60 seconds. The base-60 split of hours and minutes comes from ancient Babylonian astronomy. ### What is a day? A day is 24 hours or 86,400 seconds. Calendar days occasionally differ by one second when a leap second is added. ### Quick mental conversion For a fast estimate, multiply minutes by about **0.00069** to get days; the error is about 0.6%. Use the calculator above when you need the exact figure. ### Common mistakes to avoid Treating every month as 30 days or every year as 365 days in long calculations, and writing decimal hours such as 1.5 h as 1 h 50 min (it is 1 h 30 min). ## Worked example Inputs — Minutes: 1,440 min.
