- Multiply 5 by 24.
- 5 × 24 = 120 hours.
This works for any number of days, including fractions or negative values.

Conversion Definitions
Days: A day is a unit of time usually based on the Earth’s rotation around its axis. It consists of 24 hours and commonly used to measure longer periods of time in calendars and schedules. Days are divided into hours, minutes, and seconds for more precise timekeeping.
Hours: An hour is a time unit equal to 1/24th of a day. It contains 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds. Hours are used worldwide for daily time measurement, scheduling activities, and scientific observations. It is a standard unit in both everyday and technical contexts.
Conversion FAQs
Why multiply days by 24 to get hours?
Because each day contains exactly 24 hours, multiplying the days by 24 converts the total time from days into hours, the smaller unit. This method works regardless of whether the days are whole numbers, decimals, or negative values.
Can I convert fractional days to hours accurately?
Yes, fractional days like 0.5 or 1.75 can be converted by multiplying the decimal value by 24, giving an exact hour equivalent. For example, 0.5 days equals 12 hours (0.5 × 24 = 12).
What happens if I convert negative days to hours?
Negative days represent a measurement in the opposite direction of time or a deficit. When multiplied by 24, the result is negative hours, showing a corresponding negative duration.
Is the conversion different for calendar days versus solar days?
The standard conversion uses 24 hours per day based on the calendar day. Solar days, which vary slightly in length, are not considered here, so this conversion applies the fixed 24-hour day.
How precise is the conversion result?
The conversion formula multiplies by 24 exactly. Precision depends on the input value and decimal places used; the JavaScript tool rounds to four decimal places for clarity but calculations can be more precise if needed.
