Full API documentation

Explanation

Formula: Minutes = Seconds × 0.016667. Why: both units are short fixed time scales built directly from seconds and minutes, so the route follows exact integer relationships through one second reference.

Seconds (s): the SI base unit of time, used as the common reference for fixed civil-time conversions.

Minutes (min): a time unit equal to exactly 60 seconds, common for schedules, durations, and short intervals.

This route is useful when restating short fixed durations between seconds, minutes, and hours for scheduling, logging, and time-tracking work.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through seconds using fixed civil time definitions with no offset.

Method & Reference
