How to convert time from Eastern Standard Time (EST) to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Converting between Eastern Standard Time (EST)
and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from EST cities like New York City, Washington D.C., Miami, Atlanta are 3 hour(s) apart to GMT cities like , holiday schedules, and the basic
communication becomes a juggling act. To make it easier to
understand, we'll break down the process of converting time
between EST and GMT
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding Eastern Standard Time and Greenwich Mean Time
Eastern Standard Time is UTC-4, which means that the
local time in the Eastern Standard Time zone is -4
hours apart from UTC. Greenwich Mean Time is UTC0,
which means that the local time in the Greenwich Mean Time zone is 0 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from Eastern Standard Time to Greenwich Mean Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Eastern Standard Time is UTC-4 and Greenwich Mean Time is UTC0, the time difference is: 3 hour(s)
-
3 hours = Eastern Standard Time's difference from UTC 0 + (Greenwich Mean Time's difference from UTC -4
-
Greenwich Mean Time has 3 hour(s) difference Eastern Standard Time.
Understanding Eastern Standard Time and Greenwich Mean Time
Eastern Standard Time is UTC-4, which means that the
local time in the Eastern Standard Time zone is -4
hours apart from UTC. Greenwich Mean Time is UTC0,
which means that the local time in the Greenwich Mean Time zone is 0 hours apart from UTC.
Step 4: Practice Converting Times
Now that you know the process, try converting different times
from Eastern Standard Time to Greenwich Mean Time for practice before going to
the answer page. Remember to always add the Greenwich Mean Time time
difference to the Eastern Standard Time time.
