How to Convert 1600 Military Time to Standard Time

You can easily convert 1600 hours to standard 12-hour time by following a few easy steps.

Since military time is based on the 24-hour time standard, all times greater than 11 represent a time in the afternoon. Because 1600 is greater than 1159 (11:59 in 24-hour time), you can subtract 1200 to find the equivalent 12-hour time.

1600 - 1200 = 400

Then, you can add a colon between the hours and minutes portion to convert the time to the 12-hour format.

400 = 4:00

And finally, since 1600 hours is in the afternoon (it's greater than 1100), you need to add the "pm" to the end to denote that the resulting 12-hour time is after noon.

4:00 pm

So, 1600 hours military time is the same as 4:00 pm in standard time.
