Converting numbers from conventional time to military time can be a tricky process for some, but it's really quite simple once you understand the basics. Converting 1645 (also known as 4:45 PM) to military time is no exception!
Military time, designed primarily for convenience and accuracy, is expressed using a 24-hour format. In this format, an hour is expressed with two digits starting from 00 and going up to 23, where 12:00 PM (noon) is written as 1200 and 12:00 AM (midnight) is written as 2400. As a result, the aim of the conversion is to express the conventional 1645 in two digits in the same 24-hour format used in military time.
In this case, all that needs to be done to convert 1645 or 4:45 PM into military time is add 12 hours. This boils down to two steps; divide the 4 by 12 and 675 by 60. This would result in adding 12 hours (12) to 16 leaving us with 28 which indicates 4 PM in military time—it's that simple!
To briefly summarise how you can use maths to convert conventional 1645 or 4:45 PM into Military Time; first divide the hour portion (4) by 12 and then divide the minute portion (45) by 60 – add both results together and add 12–your answer should be 28 in military time which equates to 4 PM.
