How to work out 5 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 5th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 5-year span covers 1 or 2 of them.
5 years in days
5 × 365 = 1,825 days
+ 1 or 2 leap days
= 1,826 or 1,827 days
+ 1 or 2 leap days
= 1,826 or 1,827 days
