Time | How Do I Convert Seconds To Hours, Minutes And Seconds in Python?

Here we will learn about time and How to convert seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds which we can do using three different ways like simple calculations, using built in function divmod(), and using the datetime Module.

Time

Calculating Time in Different Ways

There are different ways to get convert the seconds into different parameters of time like minutes and hours. That we will discuss here.

Simple Calculation

This is the way to find the minutes and hours in a given second using simple calculations of division and multiplications or using direct formulas. To do so follow the code given below and get execute it as per you want

seconds = 12601

seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600)
hour = seconds // 3600
seconds %= 3600
minutes = seconds // 60
seconds %= 60

print("%d:%02d:%02d" % (hour, minutes, seconds)

Here we simply divide the seconds by 60 to convert them into minutes and to convert the same into hours I simply divide the seconds by 3600 which is 60X60.

Using DivMod() function

It is a build function that can directly convert the given seconds into minutes or hours as per our choice to implement the same user in built function following the example code given.

seconds = 31045

minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60)
hours, minutes = divmod(minutes, 60)

print("%d:%02d:%02d" % (hours, minutes, seconds))

Using Datetime Module

We can also use a very powerful in- built module DateTime to do the same task.

import datetime
sec = 9506
convert = str( datetime. timedelta( seconds = sec))
print( convert)

As this is also a way to get the seconds converted into minutes or hours.
