Convert jiffy to year

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (j i f f y) = x (y e a r)

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 (y e a r) = 31556908.8 (s e c o n d) = 31556908.8 (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (j i f f y) = x (y e a r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 31556908.8 \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (s) = x \cdot 31556908.8 \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (s) = x \times 31556908.8 \times (s)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.0}{60.0} = x \times 31556908.8

Switch sides

x \times 31556908.8 = \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{31556908.8})

x \times 31556908.8 \times \frac{1.0}{31556908.8} = \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times \frac{1.0}{31556908.8}

Cancel

x \times 31556908.8 \times \frac{1.0}{31556908.8} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.0}{60.0 \times 31556908.8}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{60.0 \times 31556908.8}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000000005 \approx 5.2815 \times 10^{- 10}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (j i f f y) \approx 5.2815 \times 10^{- 10} (y e a r)
