Time intervals can be divided into smaller sections by using units of time that are smaller than the original interval. For example, if the original time interval is 1 hour, it can be divided into smaller sections by using units of minutes (60 minutes in 1 hour) or seconds (3,600 seconds in 1 hour). Similarly, if the original interval is 1 day, it can be divided into smaller sections by using units of hours (24 hours in 1 day), minutes (1,440 minutes in 1 day), or seconds (86,400 seconds in 1 day). The choice of time unit depends on the level of precision needed for the particular task or measurement.
