The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 second = 0.000278 hours 120 × 0.000278 = 0.033
How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (h) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 0 | −0.03333 |
| 1 decimal | 0.0 | −0.03333 |
| 2 decimals | 0.03 | −0.00333 |
Round trip: take 0.033 h back the other way and you land on 118.8000 s — a drift of 1.2000 s. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
