Where 1,440 minutes shows up
The count 1,440 is the number of one-minute slots in a day, which makes it the natural resolution for scheduling. Cron expressions address the day at minute granularity, calendar back-ends store events as a minute offset from midnight, and shift planners index the day from 0 to 1439. The figure is also unusually divisible — by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18 and 20 among others — so the day splits into halves, thirds, quarters and twelfths without a fraction of a minute appearing.
