How to work out 21 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 21st birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 21-year span covers 5 or 6 of them.
21 years in days
21 × 365 = 7,665 days
+ 5 or 6 leap days
= 7,670 or 7,671 days
+ 5 or 6 leap days
= 7,670 or 7,671 days
