How to convert from 24-hour to 12-hour format

The conversion from 24-hour (or military) time to 12-hour (AM/PM) time is quite simple. In 12-hour time, the day is split into two distinct parts: before noon and after noon. When time is before noon (12:00 in 24-hour time), we append “AM” to the time. When time is after noon (after midday), we append “PM”.

Let’s start with a simple case, times that are before noon.

Example: 07:30

The time is before noon (before 12:00), therefore we append “AM”
07:30 is equal to 7:30 AM

Things are slightly different in the second half of the day. In a 12-hour clock, as the name suggests, we only count up until 12. In the afternoon, we take the 24-hour time and subtract 12 hours from it to get the 12-hour time.

Example: 16:25

The time is after noon (after 12:00), therefore we append “PM”
The time is after noon, therefore we subtract 12 from the hour: 16 – 12 = 4
16:25 is equal to 4:25 PM
