Convert year to Olympiad

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (y e a r) = x (O l y m p i a d)

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

(s e c o n d)

Left side: 1.0 (y e a r) = 31558118.4 (s e c o n d) = 31558118.4 (s)

Right side: 1.0 (O l y m p i a d) = 1.26144 \times 10^{8} (s e c o n d) = 1.26144 \times 10^{8} (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (y e a r) = x (O l y m p i a d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 31558118.4 \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 1.26144 \times 10^{8} \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot 31558118.4 \cdot (s) = x \cdot 1.26144 \times 10^{8} \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 31558118.4 \cdot (s) = x \times 1.26144 \times 10^{8} \times (s)

Conversion Equation

31558118.4 = x \times 1.26144 \times 10^{8}

Switch sides

x \times 1.26144 \times 10^{8} = 31558118.4

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.26144 \times 10^{8}})

x \times 1.26144 \times 10^{8} \times \frac{1.0}{1.26144 \times 10^{8}} = 31558118.4 \times \frac{1.0}{1.26144 \times 10^{8}}

Cancel

x \times 1.26144 \times 10^{8} \times \frac{1.0}{1.26144 \times 10^{8}} = 31558118.4 \times \frac{1.0}{1.26144 \times 10^{8}}

Simplify

x = \frac{31558118.4}{1.26144 \times 10^{8}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{8}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 8}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 8} \times 31558118.4}{1.26144}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.2501753425 \approx 2.5018 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (y e a r) \approx 2.5018 \times 10^{- 1} (O l y m p i a d)
