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 24 hours into seconds we have to multiply 24 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
24 hr → T(s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in seconds:
T(s) = 24 hr × 3600 s
T(s) = 86400 s
The final result is:
24 hr → 86400 s
We conclude that 24 hours is equivalent to 86400 seconds:
24 hours = 86400 seconds
