Convert century to jiffy

Learn how to convert 1 century to jiffy step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (c e n t u r y) = x (j i f f y)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(s e c o n d)

Left side: 1.0 (c e n t u r y) = 3.1536 \times 10^{9} (s e c o n d) = 3.1536 \times 10^{9} (s)

Right side: 1.0 (j i f f y) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (s e c o n d) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (c e n t u r y) = x (j i f f y)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \times (s e c o n d) = x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \cdot (s) = x \cdot \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \cdot (s) = x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (s)

Conversion Equation

3.1536 \times 10^{9} = x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} = 3.1536 \times 10^{9}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{1.0} = 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{60.0}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 1.0} = 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{60.0}{1.0}

Simplify

x = 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \times 60.0

Solve

x

x = 1.89216 \times 10^{11} \approx 1.8922 \times 10^{11}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (c e n t u r y) \approx 1.8922 \times 10^{11} (j i f f y)
