convert those numbers to a standard time AM or PM format?

That is not true, your way would use and extra cell and that is not what the
OP asked for. However if you are using an extra cell then this is somewhat
easier

=--TEXT(E1,"00\:00")

format the cell as h:mm AM/PM

or format directly as text

=TEXT(TEXT(E1,"00\:00"),"h:mm AM/PM")
