How to work out 78 years in days
Multiply the years by 365, then add one day for every February 29 between the birth date and the 78th birthday. Leap years come every four years, except century years not divisible by 400, so a 78-year span covers 19 or 20 of them.
78 years in days
78 × 365 = 28,470 days
+ 19 or 20 leap days
= 28,489 or 28,490 days
+ 19 or 20 leap days
= 28,489 or 28,490 days
