Random task! You need to calculate the number of hours in 888 minutes.

Question

Could any please help me with this question? How do I solve that with floor division and modulo operator.

Answer 1

Divide the number by the number of minutes in a hour (60) to get the number of hours. Modulo the number by the number of minutes in an hour (60) to get the remaining minutes.

example;

num = 135

hour = num // 60 # 2
mins = num % 60 # 15

Answer 2

Thank you very much for your prompt answer. I was also dividing the n with 60, but for divide we use only one /, right? But here you used this // i.e. floor division. Which basically means the quotient, that we will get after dividing i.e. after applying /. I am perplexed 😅 But still I really appreciate your help man, thanks!
