How to Convert Second to Minute
- 1 s = 0.01666666667 min
- 1 min = 60 s
- Example: convert 15 s to min: 15 s = 15 × 0.01666666667 min = 0.25 min
Formula
min = s ÷ 60
Derivation from SI units:
- SI base unit: 9 192 631 770 periods of the caesium-133 hyperfine transition
- 1 min = 60 s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Second definition: second; Minute definition: minute.
Worked examples
- 90 s is 1.5 min.
90 s × 0.01666666667 = 1.5 min - A purge of 300 s lasts 5 min.
300 s × 0.01666666667 = 5 min
