For anyone using AngularJS  a simple solution is to filter the value with the date API  which converts milliseconds to a string based on the requested format  Example    lt div gt Offer ends in    timeRemaining   date   HH mm ss     lt  div gt    Note that this expects milliseconds  so you may want to multiply timeRemaining by 1000 if you are converting from seconds  as the original question was formulated

None of the answers here satisfies my requirements as I want to be able to handle   Large numbers of seconds  days   and Negative numbers   Although those are not required by the OP  it s good practice to cover edge cases  especially when it takes little effort   It s pretty obvious is that the OP means a NUMBER of seconds when he says seconds  Why would peg your function on String   function secondsToTimeSpan seconds        const value   Math abs seconds       const days   Math floor value   1440       const hours   Math floor  value -  days   1440     3600       const min   Math floor  value -  days   1440  -  hours   3600     60       const sec   value -  days   1440  -  hours   3600  -  min   60       return    seconds  lt  0    -       days  gt  0   days            hours  lt  10    0    hours hours    min  lt  10    0    min min    sec  lt  10    0    sec sec     secondsToTimeSpan 0              gt  00 00 00 secondsToTimeSpan 1              gt  00 00 01 secondsToTimeSpan 1440           gt  1 00 00 00 secondsToTimeSpan -1440          gt  -1 00 00 00 secondsToTimeSpan -1             gt  -00 00 01

I just wanted to give a little explanation to the nice answer above   var totalSec   new Date   getTime     1000  var hours   parseInt  totalSec   3600     24  var minutes   parseInt  totalSec   60     60  var seconds   totalSec   60   var result    hours  lt  10    0    hours   hours     -     minutes  lt  10    0    minutes   minutes     -     seconds   lt  10    0    seconds   seconds     On the second line  since there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour  we divide the total number of seconds by 3600 to get the total number of hours  We use parseInt to strip off any decimal  If totalSec was 12600  3 and half hours   then parseInt  totalSec   3600   would return 3  since we will have 3 full hours  Why do we need the   24 in this case  If we exceed 24 hours  let s say we have 25 hours  90000 seconds   then the modulo here will take us back to 1 again  rather than returning 25  It is confining the result within a 24 hour limit  since there are 24 hours in one day    When you see something like this   25   24   Think of it like this   25 mod 24 or what is the remainder when we divide 25 by 24

After looking at all the answers and not being happy with most of them  this is what I came up with   I know I am very late to the conversation  but here it is anyway   function secsToTime secs     var time   new Date          create Date object and set to today s date and time   time setHours parseInt secs 3600    24     time setMinutes parseInt secs 60    60     time setSeconds parseInt secs 60      time   time toTimeString   split      0        time toString      HH mm ss GMT-0800  PST        time toString   split          HH mm ss    GMT-0800     PST         time toTimeString   split      0      HH mm ss    return time      I create a new Date object  change the time to my parameters  convert the Date Object to a time string  and removed the additional stuff by splitting the string and returning only the part that need   I thought I would share this approach  since it removes the need for regex  logic and math acrobatics to get the results in  HH mm ss  format  and instead it relies on built in methods   You may want to take a look at the documentation here   https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects Date
