What is 1730 in regular time?
5:30 PM. For hours from 1200 onward you subtract twelve: 17 minus 12 gives 5, so 1730 is 5:30 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 1730?
"seventeen thirty". Minutes are read as a number after the hour, with no "hundred" and no "oh" before a two digit value.
