Convert decimal hours to HH:MM:SS

I'm looking for a way to convert decimal hours to HH:MM:SS

For instance, as input:

4.927778 hours

Desired output:

04:55:40
Solution

  • You can try something like below

    dh <- 4.927778
strftime(as.POSIXct(dh * 60 * 60, origin = Sys.Date(), tz = "GMT"), format = "%H:%M:%S")
## [1] "04:55:40"
