Conversion of seconds to hours and minutes

Question

Hey guys, i am trying to make a timer that inclues hours and minutes, this timer goes up to 24hours and once it reaches that point it resets back to 0 and repeats. So basically a 24 hour cycle that allows me to decide how many seconds their are per day and converts those seconds to display hours and minutes. Currently my hours work fine and so do the days, but i can´t get the minutes to work, any guidance is appreciated. Here is my day/night cycle:

   //Update Time
     void ChangeTime()
     {
         //Increase Time
         curTime += Time.deltaTime / secondsPerDay;
 
         IncreaseHour();
 
         if (curTime >= 1)
         {
             IncreaseDay();
             curTime = 0;
         }
 
     }
 
     void IncreaseHour()
     {
         float hour = curTime * 24f;
         float minute =  hour * 60;
        
         if (minute >= 60)
         {
             minute = 0;
         }
         Debug.Log(minute);
         ui.UpdateHour(hour);
         ui.UpdateMinute(minute);
     }

Thanks guys,

That's all:

 float t = curTime * 24f;
 float hours = Mathf.Floor(t);
 t *= 60;
 float minutes = Mathf.Floor(t%60);
 t *= 60;
 float seconds = Mathf.Floor(t%60);
 Debug.Log(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);

I see, it worked! Looks like ill have to research Mathf.Floor since i hadn't come across it yet. Thanks for the help!

The floor (and ceiling) function is a common mathematical concept. Though more important is the usage of the modulo operator %
