How to work out 15 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 15th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 15-year span covers 3 or 4 of them.
15 years in days
15 × 365 = 5,475 days
+ 3 or 4 leap days
= 5,478 or 5,479 days
+ 3 or 4 leap days
= 5,478 or 5,479 days
