In the 24 hour clock, there are no 'am' and 'pm' labels.

The hours start at zero and go throught to 23.

All 24 hour clock times should be written hh:mm or hh:mm:ss, where h is the hour, m is the minute and s is the seconds.

Sometimes the colons are omitted bewteen the hours and minutes.

The following simple steps will help you change a 24 hour time to a 12 hour time with 'am' and 'pm'.

  • If the hour is exactly 12, then simply label it as a pm time.
  • If the hour is 00, then change it to 12 and label it as an am time.
  • If the hour is greater than 12, then simply subtract 12 from the hour and label it as a pm time.
  • Otherwise, simply label it as an am time and take away any leading zeros.

The minutes and seconds never change when changing between 24 hour and 12 hour times.

Examples

14:36 = 2:36pm     02:12 = 2:12am

09:24 = 9:24am     17:48 = 5:48pm

00:45 = 12:45am     12:15 = 12:15pm

20:36 = 8:36pm     23:56 = 11:56pm
