# About This Calculator

The Decimal to Time Calculator is an essential tool for time tracking and payroll. Many digital clocks and timesheets record time in decimal format (e.g., 7.25 hours), but humans typically communicate time in sexagesimal (base-60) format (7 hours and 15 minutes).

This tool handles the conversion by extracting the whole number as hours, then multiplying the remaining fractional part by 60 to find the minutes, and once more for seconds if necessary.

How To Use

  1. Enter the **Decimal Hours** (e.g., 2.75 or 10.33).
  2. View the breakdown into **Hours**, **Minutes**, and **Seconds**.
  3. Use this to verify payroll hours or calculate travel durations precisely.
