The answer is 0.
You may be knowing that the time period of rotating of earth is called as a day. Most of us may be thinking that the time period of rotating of earth on its own axis is exactly 24 hours. But they are wrong. The exact time period of rotating of earth on its own axis is 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds. Thus we cannot get a minimum of 23 hours 58 minutes 23.6 seconds in a day.
