How to work out 16 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 16th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 16-year span covers exactly 4 of them.
16 years in days
16 × 365 = 5,840 days
+ 4 leap days
= 5,844 days
+ 4 leap days
= 5,844 days
