I think you need to provide some additional information.

For instance one of your example values is:

48600044

If that was collected as a number of milliseconds then dividing by 1000 would yield seconds. The result would be a duration in seconds, not an actual "time".

Maybe something along these lines:

data example;
   x=48600044;
   y=x/1000;
   format y time12.4;
run;
