Conversion formula
How to convert 587 minutes to days?

We know (by definition) that: $1 \min \approx 0.00069444444 d$

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of days.

\frac{1 \min}{587 \min} \approx \frac{0.00069444444 d}{x d}

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown $x$ :

x d \approx \frac{587 \min}{1 \min} * 0.00069444444 d \to x d \approx 0.40763888628 d

Conclusion: $587 \min \approx 0.40763888628 d$

587 minutes is equivalent to 0.407638888888889 days

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 day is equal to 2.45315161839864 times 587 minutes.

It can also be expressed as: 587 minutes is equal to $\frac{1}{2.45315161839864}$ days.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: five hundred and eighty-seven minutes is about zero point four one days, or alternatively, a day is about two point four five times five hundred and eighty-seven minutes.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Minutes

"The minute is a unit of time or of angle. As a unit of time, the minute is equal to 1⁄60 (the first sexagesimal fraction) of an hour, or 60 seconds. In the UTC time standard, a minute on rare occasions has 61 seconds, a consequence of leap seconds (there is a provision to insert a negative leap second, which would result in a 59-second minute, but this has never happened in more than 40 years under this system). As a unit of angle, the minute of arc is equal to 1⁄60 of a degree, or 60 seconds (of arc). Although not an SI unit for either time or angle, the minute is accepted for use with SI units for both. The SI symbols for minute or minutes are min for time measurement."

Days

"A day is a unit of time. In common usage, it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime, the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon. The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day. Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context, need and convenience. In 1960, the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth, and was designated the SI base unit of time. The unit of measurement day, redefined in 1960 as 86 400 SI seconds and symbolized d, is not an SI unit, but is accepted for use with SI. A civil day is usually 86 400 seconds, plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and occasionally plus or minus an hour in those locations that change from or to daylight saving time."
