1430 is after noon, so subtract 12 from the hours: 14 − 12 = 2. Keep the minutes (30) and add PM: 2:30 PM.
For hours 13 to 19, ignore the 1 and take 2 from the second digit: 14 gives 4 − 2 = 2, PM.
1430 falls in the afternoon: 14 hours and 30 minutes after midnight, 60.4% of the way through the day, with 9 hours and 30 minutes left until the next midnight.
