Military Time to AM/PM Converter
Answer
1450 = 2:50 PM
14 hours and 50 minutes in 24-hour format equals 2:50 PM in 12-hour AM/PM notation.
Step-by-Step: Converting 1450
Since 14 is greater than 12, subtract 12 from the hours:
14 − 12 = 2
Then add PM: 2:50 PM
How to Convert Military Time to AM/PM
There are two main methods of displaying the time. The first one is the 12-hour clock which uses AM and PM, and the other is the 24-hour clock.
In 12-hour clock notation the day is split into two 12-hour periods running from midnight (12:00 AM) to noon (12:00 PM), and noon to midnight.
In military time the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59.
Conversion Rules
From 0:00 to 0:59 (midnight hour), add 12 and mark as AM:
- 0:00 = 12:00 AM (midnight)
- 0:15 = 12:15 AM
- 0:30 = 12:30 AM
From 1:00 to 11:59, just add AM:
- 9:00 = 9:00 AM
- 10:30 = 10:30 AM
- 11:45 = 11:45 AM
12:00 to 12:59, just add PM:
- 12:00 = 12:00 PM (noon)
- 12:30 = 12:30 PM
From 13:00 to 23:59, subtract 12 and mark as PM:
- 13:00 = 1:00 PM
- 17:30 = 5:30 PM
- 23:59 = 11:59 PM
AM and PM
The abbreviations AM and PM are from Latin:
- AM: ante meridiem — before noon
- PM: post meridiem — after noon
Reading Military Time
In military time, hours are always "hundred", never "thousand". For example: 1000 is "ten hundred", 2000 is "twenty hundred". Whole hours are read "hundred hours" (e.g. 0800 = "zero eight hundred hours"). For times with minutes, the word "hundred" is omitted (e.g. 0905 = "zero nine zero five").
