How was 05:59 converted to 05:59 AM ?


1. Step One: To convert 05:59 (five fifty-nine) to 12-hour, firstly, we didn't convert the minutes, we leave it. In our case it will be ( :59 fifty-nine ). and we just convert the hours.


2. Step Two: If the number of hours on military time (24-hour system) that we need to convert it, is less than 12:00, it will be the same on regular time (12-hour system).
