Read the man page of find
Code:
$man find

Especially the part about -printf

and this option
Code:
%Ak    File's last access time in the  format  specified  by  k,
                     which  is  either `@' or a directive for the C `strftime'
                     function.  The possible values for k  are  listed  below;
                     some  of  them might not be available on all systems, due
                     to differences in `strftime' between systems.

If you continue reading from this part, can find the K param
