Convert day to century

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (d a y) = x (c e n t u r 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 (d a y) = 8.64 \times 10^{4} (s e c o n d) = 8.64 \times 10^{4} (s)

Right 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)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (d a y) = x (c e n t u r y)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot 8.64 \times 10^{4} \cdot (s) = x \cdot 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} \cdot (s) = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{9} \times (s)

Conversion Equation

8.64 \times 10^{4} = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{9}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

8.64 \times 10^{4} = x \times 3.1536 \times {10^{9}}^{10^{5}}

Simplify

8.64 = x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{5}

Switch sides

x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{5} = 8.64

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{5}})

x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{5}} = 8.64 \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{5}}

Cancel

x \times 3.1536 \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{5}} = 8.64 \times \frac{1.0}{3.1536 \times 10^{5}}

Simplify

x = \frac{8.64}{3.1536 \times 10^{5}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{5}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 5}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 5} \times 8.64}{3.1536}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000273973 \approx 2.7397 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (d a y) \approx 2.7397 \times 10^{- 5} (c e n t u r y)
