1 Millisecond = 0.00001667 Minutes · multiply Milliseconds by 0.00001667
About converting Milliseconds to Minutes
Milliseconds (ms) and Minutes (min) are both units of time, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Milliseconds figure by 0.00001667. Ten Milliseconds comes to 0.0001667 Minutes, and a hundred works out at 0.001667 Minutes.
Rule of thumb: going from Milliseconds to Minutes divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 60,000 Milliseconds to make a single Minute. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Millisecond?
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second — far too short to notice on its own, and yet it is the unit almost everything responsive gets measured in. Network ping, frame times, audio delay and input lag are all quoted in milliseconds, because that is the scale at which software stops feeling instant. It is also roughly the scale of human perception: reacting to something you see takes most people around 200 to 250 milliseconds, which sets the floor for how fast any honest reaction time can be.
What is a Minute?
A minute is sixty seconds, and the sixty is a Babylonian inheritance. Ancient astronomy counted in base 60, and that arithmetic survives in two places: the division of the hour into minutes and seconds, and the division of the degree into arcminutes and arcseconds — the same words, the same ancestry. The names are Latin bookkeeping: pars minuta prima, the "first small part" of an hour, and pars minuta secunda, the second one, which is where the second gets its name. The minute is not an SI unit, but it is officially accepted for use alongside them.
To put both in perspective: reacting to something you see takes about 200 milliseconds, while reading a page of a paperback takes about a minute.

Is this Milliseconds to Minutes conversion exact?
The definition is exact — Milliseconds and Minutes are both fixed against the same base by international agreement — but the decimal shown here is rounded for readability, because the true ratio does not terminate. For engineering or scientific work, carry more decimal places than this page displays.
