How to work out 42 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 42nd birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 42-year span covers 10 or 11 of them.
42 years in days
42 × 365 = 15,330 days
+ 10 or 11 leap days
= 15,340 or 15,341 days
+ 10 or 11 leap days
= 15,340 or 15,341 days
