What time is 17 45

The 17:45 in 12 Hour Clock is equal to 5:45 PM.

The 12-hour clock is the standard time convention followed by AM/PM to know what time it is.

Military time is simply the way of telling time in which you wouldn't say that it's 5:45 PM. Instead, you'd say it's 1745.

Military time is similar to 24-hour time but without a colon to separate the hour and minute system. Military time also consists of a capital character at the end of it, which denotes timezone.

Military time is used in military, scientific, and medical fields, as well as in some government agencies and organizations. It can also be found in the aviation and maritime sectors of the world, where schedules are timed for long-range operations. Some countries use a 24-hour system but with a colon separating hour from the minute.

Below you can see how military time notation is used at different timezone and also find out the name used for offset in each timezone.

The table given below is set to the Zulu time zone (UTC±0) for convenience.

Our "Military time converter" is the perfect tool to convert time from a 24-hour system to a 12-hour system. Try it above. Enter both the "Hours" and the "Minutes" boxs in the form, then click "convert to 12-hour". After that, you can see the result.

The 24-hour system (it's called the Military system) is larger than 12:00. And it starts at 00:00 and ends at 23:00. 00:00 means 12:00 midnight, and 23:00 means 11:00 PM. (Note: 24:00 and 00:00 are the same time).




1. Step One: To convert 17:45 (seventeen forty-five) to 12-hour, firstly, we didn't convert the minutes, we leave it. In our case it will be ( :45 forty-five ). and we just convert the hours.


2. Step Two: If the number of hours on military time (24-hour system) that we need to convert it, is less than 12:00, it will be the same on regular time (12-hour system). In our case, It's 17 (five), so we subtract 12 from 17 then add PM like ( 17 - 12 ). It will be 5 PM. (5 PM means 5 in the noon).

The final result is:05:45 PM ( In words: five forty-five in the noon ). Look at the chart below.

Clock Format Time
24 hour clock 17:45
12 hour clock (AM/PM) 5:45 PM

This page shows you what 17:45 is in AM/PM (12 hour) format. For a little refresher on time math, see our page here. The time 17:45 may also be expressed in military time. In this format, it may be called 1745 hours. This is also the same as 5:45 PM in 12-hour time.

Fun facts: The 24-hour clock is sometimes called military time. Also, the "am" and "pm" in the 12-hour clock stand for "ante meridiem" and "post meridiem", which come from Latin. They mean "before midday" and "after midday" respectively.

  1. Identify if 17 is greater than (or equal to) or less than 12
  2. Since 17 is greater than 12, subtract 17 - 12
  3. Add PM: 5:45 PM

The conversion from 24-hour (or military) time to 12-hour (AM/PM) time is quite simple. In 12-hour time, the day is split into two distinct parts: before noon and after noon. When time is before noon (12:00 in 24-hour time), we append "AM" to the time. When time is after noon (after midday), we append "PM".

Let's start with a simple case, times that are before noon.

Example: 07:30

  • The time is before noon (before 12:00), therefore we append "AM"
  • 07:30 is equal to 7:30 AM

Things are slightly different in the second half of the day. In a 12-hour clock, as the name suggests, we only count up until 12. In the afternoon, we take the 24-hour time and subtract 12 hours from it to get the 12-hour time.

Example: 16:25

  • The time is after noon (after 12:00), therefore we append "PM"
  • The time is after noon, therefore we subtract 12 from the hour: 16 - 12 = 4
  • 16:25 is equal to 4:25 PM
