I know the speed of light is 299792458 m/s. I have 8 distances to work with (million kilometers) since I'm finding how long it takes light from the sun to travel to the 8 planets in our solar system. How would I do this? I need the answer is Hours:Minutes:Seconds format. I know it takes light around 8 minutes to get from the sun to the earth so if it was exactly 8 minutes my answer would be 00:08:00
An example would help. The earth is at 149 million km from the sun. What's my answer?

Distance/velocity = time
Just multiply the distances by 1000 to get them in meters instead of kilometers.
