Hi,

This is only correct by chance ! And you may obtained an incorrect result with a different input.

The goal of the →H.MS instruction is to convert any time value into HH.MMSSs format (alternatively into angular DDD°MMSSs).

To convert 100 seconds the correct algorithm is to divide 100 by 3600 and then to shift-press the →H.MS key.
Dividing by 60 only works for integer seconds, in case of fractional seconds you will get incorrect tenth of second.

100/3600 is 0.0277778 which is converted by →H.MS into 0.01400 that indicate 0 : 1' 40.0"
