How to convert decimal number to time : convert 1,59 (minutes, dec) to mm:ss

If the latter part of the number is decimal, then 59% of 60 minutes would be
the answer

1.59 minutes = 1:34 (mm:ss)

One way:

A1: 1,59
A2: =A1/1440

format A2 as "[m]:ss"

Now I got it! )
Thank you!

One way:

A1: 1,59
A2: =A1/1440

format A2 as "[m]:ss"

Problem is - I know how to calculate this mannualy. But I need a function
that converts a decimal number of minutes ( for example , 1.59 ) to a time
format mm:ss (1:48)

He probably got a decimal number and didn't know what to do with it.
Just dividing doesn't format it as time.

If he knew how to calculate it manually, it would have helped if he had
asked how he could put into a cell formula, rather than how to convert it.
