How to work out 18 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 18th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 18-year span covers 4 or 5 of them.
18 years in days
18 × 365 = 6,570 days
+ 4 or 5 leap days
= 6,574 or 6,575 days
+ 4 or 5 leap days
= 6,574 or 6,575 days
