I am using javascript Date object trying to convert millisecond to how many hour, minute and second it is.

I have the currentTime in milliseconds

var currentTime = new Date().getTime()

and I have futureTime in milliseconds

var futureTime = '1432342800000'

I wanted to get difference in millisecond

var timeDiff = futureTime - currentTime

the the timeDiff was

timeDiff = '2568370873'

I want to know how many hours, minutes, seconds it is.

Could anyone help?

const secDiff = timeDiff / 1000; //in s

const minDiff = timeDiff / 60 / 1000; //in minutes

const hDiff = timeDiff / 3600 / 1000; //in hours

updated

function msToHMS( ms ) {

    // 1- Convert to seconds:

    let seconds = ms / 1000;

    // 2- Extract hours:

    const hours = parseInt( seconds / 3600 ); // 3,600 seconds in 1 hour

    seconds = seconds % 3600; // seconds remaining after extracting hours

    // 3- Extract minutes:

    const minutes = parseInt( seconds / 60 ); // 60 seconds in 1 minute

    // 4- Keep only seconds not extracted to minutes:

    seconds = seconds % 60;

    alert( hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds);

}



const timespan = 2568370873; 

msToHMS( timespan );
