Time zone division and calculation

The Earth is divided into 24 time zones (12 each in the east and 12 in the west). The United Kingdom (the former site of the Greenwich Observatory) is defined as the middle time zone (zero time zone), east zones 1-12, and west zones 1-12. Each time zone spans 15 degrees of longitude and the time is exactly 1 hour.

The method of calculating the time zone: divide the longitude of the place by 15 degrees, when the remainder is less than degrees, the quotient is the number of time zones where the place is located, and when the remainder is greater than degrees, the quotient plus 1 is the number of time zones where the place is located.

Formula: Time zone = local longitude 15 degrees, when the remainder of the result is less than the number of degrees is the number of the current time zone, if the remainder of the result is greater than the degree, then add 1.
