About Converting Minutes to Days
Minutes and Days are both everyday units of duration, and converting between them is one of the most routine calculations there is — scheduling, project planning, and billing all depend on it. Minutes is most often used for everyday scheduling and timekeeping.
Formula
days = minutes × 0.000694444444444
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 minutes equals 60 base units, and 1 days equals 86400 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct minutes-to-days factor of 0.000694444444444.
Simple example
1 min × 0.0006944444444 = 0.0006944444 d
1 minutes = 0.0006944444 days.
Real-world example
24 min × 0.0006944444444 = 0.0166666667 d
24 minutes = 0.0166666667 days.

History of the Days
The day as a natural unit (one Earth rotation) is prehistoric in origin; its fixed 86,400-second definition follows from the standardized hour, minute, and second, decoupling the calendar day slightly from the actual (very gradually lengthening) astronomical day.
Historical origin. Days was not the invention of a single named person; it developed through the process described above.
