You could first convert your elapsed times into the time! datatype...

>> test-time: make time! 777:45:03
== 777:45:03
>> print test-time
777:45:03

Then you will at least have a datatype! object to work with, as such...

>> print test-time/hour
777
>> print test-time/minute
45
>> print test-time/second
3

You can then discover the number of days in decimal form...

>> test-days: test-time/hour / 24
== 32.375

Just some stuff to think about
