You will want to first Divide the number of minutes by 60 to give u the amount of hours.

173.313/ 60 = 2.88616....

than if you take the decimal and multply it by 60 itll give you the minutes.

.88616 * 60 = 53.317

than take that decimal and multply by another 60 to give the seconds

.317 * 60 = 19 seconds

so The total is 2 hours 53 minutes and 19 seconds.


Something like this may work:

Note: 'numb' is the initial number to be broken down

int hours = static_cast<int>(numb / 60);
int minutes = static_cast<int>(numb - (hours * 60));
int seconds = static_cast<int>((numb-(hours*60) - minutes) * 60);
