Approximately 11.6 Days

To get this,

- Divide 1,000,000 by 60 to get the amount of minutes it would take

- The divide the amount of minutes by 60 to get the hours it would take

- Lastly, divided by 24 to get the amount of days

1,000,000 / 60 = 16,666.667 minutes

16,666.667 / 60 = 277.778 hours

277.778 hours / 24 = 11.574 days
