Convert jiffy to day

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (j i f f y) = x (d a 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 (j i f f y) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (s e c o n d) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (s)

Right side: 1.0 (d a y) = 8.64 \times 10^{4} (s e c o n d) = 8.64 \times 10^{4} (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (j i f f y) = x (d a y)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (s) = x \cdot 8.64 \times 10^{4} \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (s) = x \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} \times (s)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.0}{60.0} = x \times 8.64 \times 10^{4}

Switch sides

x \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} = \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{8.64 \times 10^{4}})

x \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{8.64 \times 10^{4}} = \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times \frac{1.0}{8.64 \times 10^{4}}

Cancel

x \times 8.64 \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{8.64 \times 10^{4}} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.0}{60.0 \times 8.64 \times 10^{4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{60.0 \times 8.64 \times 10^{4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{4}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 4}}{60.0 \times 8.64}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000001929 \approx 1.929 \times 10^{- 7}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (j i f f y) \approx 1.929 \times 10^{- 7} (d a y)
