This is because in Excel time is represented as a fraction of a 24-hour day. Time is internally stored as a decimal number where 1 represents 24 hours. An hour is a one-twenty-fourth of a day, and its serial number is 0.0416667.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The serial number of the time 3:50 in cell B2 is 0.159722. <strong>Tip:<\/strong> First divide the 50 minutes by 60 to convert them to a decimal. Then divide the 3 hours and the decimal by 24.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>=C2\/(B2*24)<\/strong> becomes <strong>=60\/(0.159722*24)<\/strong>.

Every hour is stored as a fraction of 1.
