How was 14:59 converted to 02:59 PM ?
1. Step One: To convert 14:59 (fourteen 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).
In our case,
It's 14 (two), so we subtract 12 from 14 then add PM like ( 14 - 12 ). It will be 2 PM. (2 PM means 2 in the noon).
The final result is:02:59 PM ( In words: two fifty-nine in the noon ). Look at the chart below.
