For hours above 12, subtract 12 from the hour, keep the minutes, and use PM: 17 − 12 = 5, so 17:00 = 5:00 PM.
To convert 5:00 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 17:00.
Remove the colon from the 24-hour time, keeping two digits each for hours and minutes: 17:00 → 1700. This represents a clock time, not a duration of 1700 hours.
