Explanation of 21:31 to 9:31 PM conversion
To convert 24-hour time (also known as Military Time) 21:31 to 12-hour time we need to do a few simple steps.
- If the hour of our 24-hour time is greater than 12, we subtract 12 from it.
- If the hour is less than or equal to 12, we just leave it as it is.
- Special case: 0 becomes 12 in 12-hour format.
- If the hour is greater than or equal to 12, the time is PM, otherwise it's AM.
In our case the hour 21 is greater than 12, so we need to subtract 12 from 21 to get 12-hour format:
21 - 12 = 9
The hour part of our 24-hour time (21 ) is greater than or equal to 12, so it's
PM (latin Post Meridiem - After Midday) time
After we got the number of hours and found out the right AM/PM postfix we just need to add minutes to it. When converting 24-hour time to 12-hour time, minutes remain unchanged (:31). Finally, let's put it all together:
9:31 PM
