Convert year to quarter

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (y e a r) = x (q u a r t e 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 (y e a r) = 31556908.8 (s e c o n d) = 31556908.8 (s)

Right side: 1.0 (q u a r t e r) = 7.776 \times 10^{6} (s e c o n d) = 7.776 \times 10^{6} (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (y e a r) = x (q u a r t e r)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 31556908.8 \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot 31556908.8 \cdot (s) = x \cdot 7.776 \times 10^{6} \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 31556908.8 \cdot (s) = x \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} \times (s)

Conversion Equation

31556908.8 = x \times 7.776 \times 10^{6}

Switch sides

x \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} = 31556908.8

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}})

x \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}} = 31556908.8 \times \frac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}

Cancel

x \times 7.776 \times 10^{6} \times \frac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}} = 31556908.8 \times \frac{1.0}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{31556908.8}{7.776 \times 10^{6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{6}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 6}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 6} \times 31556908.8}{7.776}

Solve

x

x \approx 4.0582444444 \approx 4.0582

Conversion Equation

1.0 (y e a r) \approx 4.0582 (q u a r t e r)
