The answer is 525,600 minutes in a year if leap year is not taken into account.

Conversion is generally from highest to lowest or vice versa.

For time it follows, year to months to days to hours to minutes to seconds

1. So 1 year = 12 months (12 months in 1 year)
2. 12 months = 365 days. Calculation is as follows- 4 months have 30 days each, 7 months have 31 days each and 1 months has 28 days. If you sum them up, then you get 365 = (5 * 30) + (6 * 31) + 29 = 21 + 120 + 217 = 365
3. 365 days = 365 * 24 hours = 8760 hours (24 hours in one day)
4. 8760 hours = 865 * 60 minutes = 525600 minutes (60 minutes in one hour)

525600 minutes (ordinary year), 527040 minutes (leap year), 525948.76666 minutes (exact)
