How Many Minutes in a Year?

A year can be broken down in many different ways. From months to weeks to days to hours even down to seconds, we can find out just how many of each make up an entire year. You may be curious just how to figure out how many of each are in a year. For example, you may want to know how to figure out how many minutes are in a year, or maybe you just want to know the final answer. 

The fun part is, there are a few different ways to show you how we calculate how many minutes there are in a year.

Ready for a FUN math lesson?

Here we go.

First we need to figure out how many minutes there are in an hour.

There are 60 minutes in an hour. Trust us on this one. 🙂

Look, Google even says so.

Now that we have proven that, let’s move on to the next question.

How many minutes in a day?

To figure out this one, we need to multiply hours x minutes.

If there are 24 hours in a day, then we multiply hours (24) times minutes in one hour (60)

So, 60 x 24 = 1,440

There are 1,440 minutes in a day.

Next. We need to figure out how many days there are in one year.

To do this we can look it up once again, the number is 365 days in one year.

Since there are 365 days in one year, then we can plug it into our formula.

Number of minutes in one year = Minutes in One Day (1,440) X Days in One Year (365)

Number of minutes in one year = 1,440 X 365 and this equals 525,600 minutes

How Many Minutes In One Year?

There are 525,600 minutes in one year made up of 365 days.

How Many Five Minutes In One Year?

Now that we know how many minutes are in one year we can find out how many sets of five minutes there are in one year. Five minutes is a popular phrase meaning that something was quick or just a short time. Many times people put short time periods in 5 minute increments.

So how many 5 minutes are there in one year?

You came to the right place. Here is how we solve this problem.

It’s time for a new formula. We need to take the minutes in a year (525,600) and divide it by 5.

There are 525,600 minutes in one year. 525,600 divided by 5 is 105,120.

That means there are 105,120 sets of 5 minutes in one year!

How many hours are in a year?

We have discovered how many minutes are in a year, now we need to find out how many hours are in a year.

First we look at how many hours are in one day. The answer to this is 24. There are 24 hours in one day. Then we will multiply hours in a day (24) X days in a year (365).

24 X 365 = 8,760

There are 8,760 hours in one year.
