Detailed Math (Step-by-Step)
Full minute-based operation shown clearly.
Step 1: Convert both times to minutes
| Start time | 10:00 AM |
|---|---|
| Start in minutes | 600 minutes from 00:00 |
| End time | 2:00 AM |
| End in minutes | 120 minutes from 00:00 |
Minute formula: difference_minutes = end_minutes − start_minutes
Step 2: Subtract (and handle midnight crossing)
| Raw subtraction | 120 − 600 = -480 |
|---|---|
| Midnight crossing | Add 1440 minutes (24×60): -480 + 1440 = 960 |
| Difference (minutes) | 960 minutes |
| Convert to hours | 960 ÷ 60 = 16 hours |
Readable form: 16 hours
