How to convert 16:45

For hours above 12, subtract 12 from the hour, keep the minutes, and use PM: 16 − 12 = 4, so 16:45 = 4:45 PM.

To convert 4:45 PM back to 24-hour time, replace hour 12 with 0, then add 12 for PM or leave it unchanged for AM. Keep the minutes to get 16:45.

Remove the colon from the 24-hour time, keeping two digits each for hours and minutes: 16:45 → 1645. This represents a clock time, not a duration of 1645 hours.
