Default dividing a number into hours and minutes

My users are entering numbers into column B. Is it possible to take the
total of column B (say Row X) and divide it into hours and minutes putting
the hours in Row X Column D and minuntes in Row X Column E (two seperate
cells)? They are entering just numbers in multiples of 5 and usually not
more than 30 minutes. Do I need to convert Column B to some form of 'time'
to get close to the result I'm looking for? Is this even doable?

Try this...

In D1, enter =INT(B1/60)
In E1, enter =MOD(B1,60)

In this example, Row X is row 1.

Hope this helps,

Hutch
