What is 1720 in regular time?
5:20 PM. For hours from 1200 onward you subtract twelve: 17 minus 12 gives 5, so 1720 is 5:20 PM. Military time never uses a colon and never uses AM or PM, because the hour alone says which half of the day you mean.
How do you say 1720?
"seventeen twenty". Minutes are read as a number after the hour, with no "hundred" and no "oh" before a two digit value.
