Conversion formula

The conversion factor from hours to seconds is 3600, which means that 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds:

1 hr = 3600 s

To convert 20.4 hours into seconds we have to multiply 20.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from hours to seconds. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 hr → 3600 s

20.4 hr → T_(s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in seconds:

T_(s) = 20.4 hr × 3600 s

T_(s) = 73440 s

The final result is:

20.4 hr → 73440 s

We conclude that 20.4 hours is equivalent to 73440 seconds:

20.4 hours = 73440 seconds
