Wouldn't the A1/1440 part of my formula convert a "text number" into a
real number in order to perform the division?

It sounds as if A1 doesn't contain a number, but instead contains some
form of text. What does =ISNUMBER(A1) show?

that would convert the 107 (which is a general number with no decimal
places)
into a time which should be 1 Hour 47 minutes

This formula will do that...

=TEXT(A1/1440,"[h] ""hours"" mm ""minutes""")

where A1 is assumed to have your 107 minute result.
