In Numbers, how can I convert seconds to hours/minutes?

I can convert seconds to Hours as a decimal, eg, 150 seconds = 2.5 hours, but how to I convert it to 2:30, ie, 2 hours 30 mins.

One way is to do something like this:



=DURATION(,,,B2)


Or, instead of entering your value as a decimal 150 you can enter the minutes using the special duration entry shorthand: 150m


Then format that as shown in the Cell pane.


To prevent confusion with Data & Time (a point in time as opposed to a segment of time) I often format Duration with 0h 0m instead:
