How to work out 17 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 17th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 17-year span covers 4 or 5 of them.
17 years in days
17 × 365 = 6,205 days
+ 4 or 5 leap days
= 6,209 or 6,210 days
+ 4 or 5 leap days
= 6,209 or 6,210 days
