How to Convert Seconds to Days

To convert a second measurement to a day measurement, divide the time by the conversion ratio.

days = seconds ÷ 86,400

The time in days is equal to the seconds divided by 86,400.

For example, here's how to convert 50,000 seconds to days using the formula above.
50,000 sec = (50,000 ÷ 86,400) = 0.578704 day
