How to work out 47 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 47th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 47-year span covers 11 or 12 of them.
+ 11 or 12 leap days
= 17,166 or 17,167 days
