About Hours and Minutes
Hours and minutes are the everyday units of time. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 3600 seconds.
1 hour = 60 minutes. The 60-based system (sexagesimal) comes from ancient Babylonian mathematics — 60 has more divisors (1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60) than 100 (1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100), making fractions clean. This is why the circle has 360°, each degree has 60 arcminutes, and each hour has 60 minutes.
