How to Convert Seconds to Days
To convert a measurement in seconds to a measurement in days, divide the time by the following conversion ratio: 86,400 seconds/day.
Since one day is equal to 86,400 seconds, you can use this simple formula to convert:
days = seconds ÷ 86,400
The time in days is equal to the time in seconds divided by 86,400.
For example, here's how to convert 50,000 seconds to days using the formula above.
days = (50,000 s ÷ 86,400) = 0.578704 d
