Converting minutes to days, hours, and remaining minutes

Question

Trying to convert minutes per total number of episodes into days, hours, and minutes but I can't figure out the proper formula for hours.

function minToDays(min, ep) {
  let days = parseInt((min * ep) / 1440);
  let hours = parseInt(((min * ep) % 60));
  let remainingMin = hours % 60;
  return `${days} day(s) and ${hours} hour(s) and ${remainingMin} minutes(s).`;
}
console.log(minToDays(20, 800)); //11 days, 2 hours, 40 minutes

Answer 1

A bit clunky, but here's a quick way to see the logic - each time you need to see what minutes remain. I'm sure someone with more time will give you a more elegnat answer:

function minToDays(min, ep) {
  let days = Math.floor((min * ep) / 1440);
  let remainingTime = parseInt((min*ep) - Math.floor((days *1440)));
  let hours = Math.floor((remainingTime / 60));
  let remainingMin = Math.floor(remainingTime - (hours*60));
  return `${days} day(s) and ${hours} hour(s) and ${remainingMin} minutes(s).`;
}
console.log(minToDays(20, 800)); //11 days, 2 hours, 40 minutes
