About Minute (min)
Definition
The minute is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds, or 1/60 of an hour.
Mathematical Relationship
1 min = 60 s = 1/60 h = 60,000 ms. There are 1,440 minutes in a day and 525,960 in a year.
Conversion Formula
To convert minutes to seconds: multiply by 60. To convert minutes to hours: divide by 60.
Practical Applications
Meeting schedules, cooking times, exercise intervals, transit timetables, and phone call durations.
Interesting Facts

Common Mistakes
Using decimal hours incorrectly: 1.5 hours = 90 minutes, not 1 hour 50 minutes. The base-60 system catches people off guard.
Educational Tips
The Babylonians gave us base-60 time. That's why we have 60 seconds per minute and 60 minutes per hour — it's not decimal!
About Century (cen)
Definition
A century is a unit of time equal to 100 years, or approximately 36,525 days (3,153,600,000 seconds based on 365-day years).
Mathematical Relationship
1 century = 100 years = 10 decades = 1,200 months ≈ 36,525 average days.
Conversion Formula
To convert centuries to years: multiply by 100. To decades: multiply by 10.
Practical Applications
Historical periodization, infrastructure planning (century-old bridges), and long-term climate projections.
Interesting Facts
The Gregorian calendar gained only about 1 day of error per 3,236 years — meaning it stays accurate for centuries without adjustment.
Common Mistakes
The 21st century began on January 1, 2001 — not 2000. There was no year 0, so the first century was years 1–100.
Educational Tips
Century numbering: the 1900s = 20th century. Add 1 to the hundreds: 1800s = 19th century, 2000s = 21st century.
