31,536,000 seconds

Each step of the way, you'll need to compute the conversion factor and then multiply. Here's what the conversion from one year to seconds would look like:

1 year = 365 days (no, we're not counting leap years!)

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

So…drum roll, please…one year would equal 365 times 24 times 60 times 60 seconds…or 31,536,000 seconds! That's over 31 million seconds you have to spend over the next year. What will you do with YOUR seconds?

ha ha :)

24. If you said 12 for January 2nd, February 2nd, etc that’s close, but you forgot about January 22nd, February 22nd and so on. If you are a math whiz and didn’t need a calculator to perform 60 x 60 x 24 x 365, then 31,536,000 works too. If you used 365.25 to account for leap year, then you are a human calculator.

I year = 365 days

i day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60min

1 min = 60 sec

Formula =60*60*24*365
